Project 10073 Record — Van Nuys, California, 24 June 1967

This document contains a Project 10073 record regarding a UFO sighting reported by a civilian in Van Nuys, California, on June 24, 1967. The witness, a 17-year-old male, reported observing a single object for 5 to 10 minutes. The witness described the object as a bright yellow disc with a vaporous white cone that appeared and reappeared. According to the witness, the object moved across the sky, stopped, and then pieces broke off before the remainder disappeared. The witness noted that the object did not make any sound. The report includes a completed U.S. Air Force Technical Information questionnaire, where the witness provided details about the sighting conditions, noting scattered clouds and that the object was brighter than the brightest stars. The witness also mentioned calling the object to the attention of a friend named Steve. The witness further noted that he had previously seen a 'glow' sinking below a local mountain in the same general area, and that local residents claimed to have seen similar phenomena multiple times. The Air Force, through the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, concluded that the information provided was insufficient for a scientific evaluation and requested that the witness complete additional forms for further analysis.
