Project 10073 Record — Hatboro, Pennsylvania, April 1967

This document contains a U.S. Air Force sighting report regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed in Hatboro, Pennsylvania, on April 4, 1967. The primary witness, a 13-year-old male, reported observing an object for approximately 10 minutes at 7:20 P.M. The witness described the object as a bright light, comparable to a dim headlight, which traveled in an East-West direction. Detailed characteristics provided by the witness included three red lights at the rear, eight lights on the bottom, two white lights in the front, and fire shooting out of the back. The witness noted that the object made no sound and eventually moved straight out into space. The Air Force, specifically the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, responded to the report on March 6, 1967, informing the witness that the information provided was insufficient for a scientific evaluation and requesting the completion of an FTD Form 164. The internal conclusion on the record form reflects a degree of uncertainty, labeling the object as a 'Possible AIRCRAFT' while adding the handwritten remark, 'But very unusual!'
