Project 10073 Record — UFO Observation, Tupper Lake, New York, 10 July 1967

This document contains a collection of records regarding a UFO sighting reported by a 12-year-old civilian in Tupper Lake, New York, on the evening of July 10, 1967. The witness, along with three other individuals, observed four objects described as egg or football-shaped with white blinking lights. The objects were observed for approximately 30 minutes moving from East to West before disappearing behind trees and a building. The witness reported that the objects were flying in order, like airplanes, but noted they were not. The Air Force, specifically the Foreign Technology Division, initially found the report insufficient for scientific evaluation and requested the witness complete a formal questionnaire (FTD Form 164). Following the report, the Air Force conducted an inquiry with the Eighth Air Force regarding military activity in the area. Records indicated that the 72nd Bomb Wing (Ramey AFB) was utilizing the Watertown Oilburner (OB-4) corridor during the time of the sighting, with a primary entry time of 0100Z and release times of 0200Z, and a racetrack at 0230Z. Additionally, Watertown RBS had scheduled high-level activity from 0015Z to 0330Z. The final conclusion recorded on the project form was 'Probable (AIRCRAFT)?', noting that no data was presented to indicate the objects could not have been aircraft.
