Project 10073 Record — Omaha, Nebraska, 7 October 1967

This document is a Project 10073 record regarding a UFO sighting in Omaha, Nebraska, on 7 October 1967. A 14-year-old civilian witness reported observing a white, cigar-shaped object with a dome for approximately 3-4 minutes. The object was described as moving from East to West, passing in front of and behind clouds without making any noise. The local investigating officer expressed doubt regarding the witness's reliability, noting that the witness had been reading about UFOs with great interest. An investigation into air traffic in the area identified three aircraft, specifically a Cessna 411, which would have been flying below the 4000ft broken-to-overcast cloud layer at the time of the sighting. The official conclusion of the report is that the object was a 'Probable AIRCRAFT' but noted 'INSUFFICIENT CLARITY' for a definitive identification. The file also contains extensive correspondence and additional reports from other witnesses, including accounts from Massachusetts and New York, indicating a broader collection of UFO-related reports and correspondence handled by the Air Force and NICAP during the same period.
