Project 10073 Record — Sighting near Jupiter, Florida, 18 May 1967

This document is a record of a UFO sighting reported on May 18, 1967, near Jupiter, Florida, specifically at the exit of the Florida State Turnpike. The witness, a rancher, observed a single object for approximately two minutes. The object was described as a cone-shaped light, roughly the size of a police car light, displaying red and white colors. The witness reported that the light blinked alternately at one-second intervals and resembled a plane with landing lights on, though the lights were flashing. The object's movement was described as rising from the east to a perpendicular position before descending over the western horizon, where it eventually faded from sight. The investigation was conducted by Lieutenant Theodore J. Lynn, Jr. of the 19th CMST SPT GP (SAC) at Homestead Air Force Base. The official conclusion reached by the investigator was that the phenomenon was most likely caused by aircraft operations in the area, although no specific aircraft could be confirmed or located during the investigation. The report includes meteorological data, noting broken clouds and a subsidence inversion at 3300 feet, and confirms that no physical evidence, radar contact, or photographs were associated with the event.
