Project 10073 Record — Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, July 3, 1967

This document contains a record of a UFO sighting reported by a civilian in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, on July 3, 1967. The witness, a 13-year-old female, reported observing a bright, white, flickering object in the sky for approximately 8 minutes and 22 seconds. She described the object as appearing like a diamond and moving in a North-Northeast direction. The witness explicitly stated that there was no sound associated with the object and that it appeared to be moving slower than an airplane. The report includes a completed U.S. Air Force Technical Information questionnaire, where the witness provided details about the weather conditions (clear sky, dry) and the appearance of the object. The witness also mentioned previous sightings in July 1965 and August 1966, describing them with drawings of lights and movements. The official conclusion reached by the Air Force, specifically by Major Quintanilla of the Foreign Technology Division, was that the object was the Echo I satellite, which was passing north of the sighting area at the time of the observation. The document includes correspondence from Colonel James C. Manatt requesting further information from the witness to assist in the investigation, as well as the witness's detailed responses and sketches.
