Project 10073 Record — UFO Observation, New Matamoras, Ohio, 29 August 1967

This document contains a collection of records related to a UFO sighting reported in New Matamoras, Ohio, on August 29, 1967. The primary record is a Project 10073 form documenting a civilian report of two objects observed for approximately two minutes. The observer described the objects as having red and white flashing lights, with a cigar or saucer-like shape, and noted that they moved at low altitude without making any sound. The observer compared the objects to stars but noted they were much brighter and had fuzzy, blurred edges. The report includes multiple iterations of a U.S. Air Force technical information questionnaire completed by the witness, who was 15 or 16 years old at the time. The witness provided sketches and detailed descriptions, noting that the objects were erratic and appeared to move behind trees. The Air Force, through the Foreign Technology Division (FTD) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, initially deemed the information insufficient for a scientific evaluation and requested further details. Correspondence between the FTD and the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) Flight Service Station in Parkersburg, West Virginia, confirms that there was no record of unusual air activity in the area on the evening of the sighting. The official conclusion recorded on the project form is 'Possible (AIRCRAFT)', though the witness remained convinced of the anomalous nature of the objects, noting they were 'too low to be aircraft' and 'made no sound at all'.
