This document is a Project 10073 record detailing a UFO sighting reported on March 29, 1967, in Saginaw, Michigan. The report involves two witnesses, identified as Deputy Bush of the Midland County Sheriff's Department and a Mrs. A[illegible]. The witnesses observed a V-shaped object, estimated to be 75 to 100 feet in size, featuring several lights with one particularly bright light at the 'V' point. The object was first spotted approximately 1,000 feet above the observers' vehicle, traveling in a straight line toward the south-west at an estimated speed of 35-40 MPH. The report notes that the sighting occurred at night under conditions of high, thin, broken clouds and a subsidence inversion. All reports were relayed through Sgt. Tracy of the Midland Police Department. The official conclusion provided by Colonel H. R. Davis of the 379th Bombardment Wing suggests that the sighting was likely caused by a KC-97 tanker and two or three fighter aircraft engaged in air refueling activity in the 'Mac's Track' area at the time of the observation.
Saginaw Flight Service reports one KC-97 and two or three fighters in the Mac's Track refueling area at the time. This could reasonably account for the sighting.
