Project 10073 Record — Queens Village, New York, April 4, 1967

This document contains a Project Blue Book record regarding a UFO sighting reported by a 12-year-old witness in Queens Village, New York. The witness observed a bright orange object on the night of April 4, 1967. According to the witness's account, the object hovered at an estimated altitude of 500 to 600 feet before rising higher and gliding in their direction. As it passed overhead, the witness noted it was triangular in shape and featured purple, white, and green lights on its underside. The witness further described the object changing colors from orange to red, and later from red to white, before darting away. The witness included a drawing of the object's path with their letter. The official Air Force response, signed by Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr. on February 16, 1968, acknowledges receipt of the report but states that because the letter was not submitted until January 22, 1968, it was too late to perform a comprehensive investigation. Consequently, the case was closed with the conclusion of 'insufficient data for evaluation'.
