This document contains a Project 10073 record regarding a UFO sighting reported by a 14-year-old civilian in Pikesville, Maryland. On February 27, 1967, at approximately 7:55 A.M., the witness observed a round object with a silvery hue while riding a bus to school. The witness described the object as having a polished aluminum color and noted that it appeared to be hovering above a group of trees. The observation lasted for approximately 45 seconds. The witness attempted to rule out reflections on the bus window by moving his head, but the object remained visible. The witness reported the sighting to the Air Force, which subsequently sent a letter dated March 15, 1967, signed by Colonel James C. Manatt, stating that the information provided was insufficient for a scientific evaluation. The Air Force requested that the witness complete an FTD Form 164 for further analysis. The official conclusion recorded on the project form was 'Possible (AIRCRAFT)', with the note that no data was presented to indicate the object could not have been an aircraft.

No data presented to indicate object could not have been an aircraft.
