Project 10073 Record — Waldwick, New Jersey, July 31, 1967

This document is a Project 10073 record concerning a UFO sighting reported in Waldwick, New Jersey, on July 31, 1967. The report indicates that a civilian observer reported the sighting, which involved one object at a time. The observation was classified as a 'Ground Visual' type. The Air Force, specifically the Foreign Technology Division (FTD) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, determined that there was insufficient data to conduct a scientific evaluation of the incident. A letter dated September 6, 1967, signed by Colonel James C. Manatt, was sent to the observer requesting that they complete and return an attached FTD Form 164 to provide the necessary details for further investigation. The record notes that the form had not been returned at the time of the document's creation, and that the case would be re-evaluated upon receipt of the additional information. The document also contains various other correspondence and forms related to other sightings, including reports from a 12-year-old in Grand Island, New York, and a detailed report from the NICAP Massachusetts Investigating Subcommittee regarding sightings in Newton, New Hampshire, and Cape Ann, Massachusetts, in late July and early August 1967. These additional materials highlight the Air Force's standard procedure of requesting detailed information from witnesses and the involvement of civilian research groups like NICAP in investigating and documenting such phenomena during this period.
