Project 10073 Record — Buffalo, New York, 12 June 1967

This document contains a Project 10073 record regarding a UFO sighting reported by a civilian in Buffalo, New York, on July 12, 1967. The witness, a research assistant in microbiology, claimed to have observed a saucer-shaped object with a distinct dome and a tail, which he compared in brightness to the planet Venus. The observation lasted approximately 30 seconds before the object disappeared. The witness stated he had taken a photograph of the object and was in possession of the slide. On August 12, 1967, Colonel James C. Manatt of the U.S. Air Force sent a letter to the witness in Vancouver, British Columbia, requesting that he submit the original slide and complete a photographic data sheet to allow for a scientific investigation. The official record indicates that the case was classified as having insufficient data for evaluation because the witness failed to forward the requested materials. The file includes the completed U.S. Air Force Technical Information questionnaire, where the witness provided details about the sighting, including his location, the weather conditions, and his assessment of the object's appearance.
