Project 10073 Record - Oakgrove, Oregon - 23 June 1967

This document contains the records for a UFO sighting reported in Oakgrove, Oregon, on June 23, 1967. The primary witness, a 14-year-old male, reported observing a bright red, fuzzy object in the sky for approximately 30 to 40 seconds. According to the witness's narrative, he and two friends were walking home when one of the friends, identified as 'Jim,' pointed out the object. The witness described the object as moving in a zig-zag pattern before straightening out and heading east until it disappeared. The witness explicitly noted that the object made no sound. The Air Force investigation, conducted under Project 10073, initially found the provided information insufficient for a scientific evaluation and requested that the witness complete a more detailed FTD Form 164. A subsequent internal note dated September 6, 1967, mentions that the Air Force contacted SPADATS regarding a satellite decay that occurred on the same day, but concluded that this event was not responsible for the sighting. The final conclusion recorded on the project form is that there was no data presented to indicate the object could not have been an aircraft.
