Project 10073 Record — Sighting in Hadley, Massachusetts, April 25, 1967

This document contains the records of a UFO sighting reported by a 12-year-old witness in North Hadley, Massachusetts, on April 25, 1967. The witness, who claimed to have observed UFOs previously, reported seeing two objects moving from the southeast to the southwest. According to the witness's account, the objects displayed blinking red and blue lights; when the red light went out, a blue light appeared in the same location. The witness later observed a second object, described as orange in color and moving twice as slowly as the first. The witness reported that the objects made no sound and were approximately one mile away. The witness attempted to view the objects through field glasses. The Air Force's Foreign Technology Division (FTD) initially determined that the provided information was insufficient for a scientific evaluation. Consequently, Colonel James C. Manatt sent a letter to the witness on May 3, 1967, requesting the completion of an FTD Form 164 questionnaire. The witness subsequently completed the form, providing additional details about the sighting, including sketches of the objects' paths and their appearance. The official conclusion recorded on the Project 10073 record form for this incident is 'Possible (AIRC AFT)', suggesting a potential identification as an aircraft.
