Project 10073 Record — Sighting Report, San Angelo, Texas, 25 September 1967

This document comprises a Project 10073 record and an associated Air Force staff message regarding a UFO sighting reported on September 25, 1967. The witness, an elderly civilian female in San Angelo, Texas, reported observing a green, star-sized, spheroidal object in the northwest sky at approximately 0230Z. According to the report, the object was initially seen flashing among three stars. It moved slowly north, hovered, fluctuated back and forth on an axis parallel to its flight path, then turned southeast toward Goodfellow Air Force Base before turning north again and disappearing. The 6940th Security Wing at Goodfellow AFB conducted an investigation, which included checking with the local FAA tower at Mathis Municipal Airport. The tower reported no flight activity in the area during the time of the sighting, though they noted that aircraft could have been operating under Visual Flight Rules (VFR). The local weather detachment confirmed no balloons were launched or in the area at the time. 2LT Raymond E. Franks Jr., the Officer of the Day, submitted the report but explicitly stated he did not feel qualified to perform an analysis of the sighting. The official conclusion recorded on the project form is 'INSUFFICIENT DATA,' citing the lack of duration and elevation information.
