Project 10073 Record — Roseville, Michigan, 3 April 1967

This document contains a series of records and correspondence regarding a UFO sighting that occurred on 3 April 1967 in Roseville, Michigan. The primary witness, a 29-year-old female, reported observing 10 to 12 bright white, round lights flying in a V formation. The observation lasted approximately two minutes. The witness described the sound of the object as resembling 'spinning ropes' overhead. The object moved in a straight line from East to West before disappearing. The witness provided detailed responses to an Air Force questionnaire, noting that the object appeared brighter than a star and was comparable to a 60-watt light bulb. The Air Force investigation, conducted by the Foreign Technology Division, concluded that the cause was unknown. Major Raymond W. Nyls noted that the object was too low for radar detection and too fast to be a 'plastic bag hoax.' He further remarked on the similarity of this event to a sighting reported on 8 March 1967 in Grosse Point, Michigan. The file includes internal Air Force communications, including a message to the Condon Committee at the University of Colorado, and correspondence from Colonel James C. Manatt requesting further information from the witness. The document also contains internal notes from Lt. Col. Hector Quintanilla regarding the evaluation of sightings and the potential for further investigation.
