Project 10073 Record: UFO Observation, 29 Mar 67

This document contains the official record of a UFO sighting reported by a civilian housewife in Blytheville, Arkansas, on March 29, 1967. The observer reported three distinct sightings occurring at 0140Z, 0315Z, and 0440Z. During these events, the observer described lights of varying colors—white, blue, pink, and yellow—that appeared to move rapidly to the west. The observer, noted as being sincere and intelligent by the reporting official, was star-watching from her automobile on Highway 18 during the incidents. The Air Force investigated the report under Project 10073 and in accordance with AFR 80-17. Local flight conditions at the nearby Blytheville Air Force Base were reviewed, noting that a DC-6 and a B-52 were operating in the area during the relevant timeframes. The observer noted that during the first sighting, she observed a DC-6 landing and described the light as being above and beyond the aircraft, momentarily disappearing as the aircraft passed below it. Despite the availability of a tape recording of the observer's original report to the 97th Bomb Wing, the Foreign Technology Division concluded that the information provided was insufficient for a scientific evaluation. The Air Force subsequently requested that the observer complete a formal FTD Form 164 for further analysis.
