Project 10073 Record — Sighting Report, 13 March 1967, Junction City, Oregon

This document contains a series of records and correspondence regarding a UFO sighting reported by a civilian in Junction City, Oregon, on 13 March 1967. The witness, a former Air Force A2C with experience as an A.P.E. specialist, reported observing a round, reddish-orange object on a dark night. According to the witness, the object moved in a southwest direction, stopped for approximately two minutes, and then proceeded due east before disappearing behind clouds. The witness noted that the object's speed appeared to exceed that of a B-52, KC-135, or F-105 aircraft. The sighting was accompanied by the barking of local dogs, which the witness noted began when the object appeared and ceased shortly after it vanished. The witness reported the incident to the Mahlon Sweet Control Tower and later to Adair AFS. The Air Force responded by sending a letter from Colonel James C. Manatt of the Foreign Technology Division, stating that the initial information was insufficient for a scientific evaluation and requesting the completion of an FTD Form 164. The subsequent technical information questionnaire completed by the witness provides further details, including the witness's background, the weather conditions, and the lack of sound associated with the object. The official Air Force record, transmitted via teletype, concludes that no analysis could be offered regarding the cause of the sighting.
