Project 10073 Record: UFO Observation, 13 March 1967

This document contains records related to a UFO sighting reported on 13 March 1967 in Greenup, Kentucky. The report was initiated following a call from the Civil Defense director in Ashland, Kentucky, regarding an observation made by Mrs. Georgia Elliot. According to the witness, she observed a star-like object at 1930 hours that appeared in the northern sky, traveled slowly toward the west, and hovered for several minutes. The witness described the object as being brighter than the stars, with a center resembling a star and outer edges colored white and blue. She further noted that the object appeared to have spheres on its exterior and emitted a light humming sound. A significant detail in the report is that an aircraft was observed traveling toward the west, and as it approached the object, the lights on the UFO extinguished and did not reappear. The witness's daughter also observed the object, noting it appeared to come from the North Star. The Air Force, through the Foreign Technology Division (FTD) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, attempted to follow up on the report by sending an FTD Form 164 to the witness for further scientific evaluation. However, the form was returned with the notation 'ADDRESS UNKNOWN.' Consequently, the official conclusion recorded for the incident was 'INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR EVALUATION.' The file includes the original correspondence from Colonel James C. Manatt, Director of Technology and Subsystems, and a memorandum for the record detailing the witness's account.
