Project 10073 Record — Sighting Report, 10 October 1967, Webly, Colorado

This document collection details a UFO sighting reported on 10 October 1967 in Webly, Colorado. The primary witness, a student, reported observing a bright white, saucer-shaped object with points at the front and back, moving at 'tremendous speed' from north to south at an estimated altitude of 500 to 1000 feet. The object made no noise and eventually disappeared into the clouds. The sighting lasted approximately 30 seconds. Subsequent internal Air Force correspondence from the Lowry Technical Training Center indicates that the sighting was also reported by another individual. Air Force investigators, specifically those under the Foreign Technology Division, expressed concern regarding discrepancies in the reports, particularly regarding whether the witnesses were observing the same object and the exact date of the event (9 or 10 October). The official conclusion reached by the Air Force was that the object was likely an aircraft, and that the observed 'strange shape' was a result of atmospheric haze present on the evening of the sighting. The file includes the original sighting report form, technical information questionnaires, and follow-up correspondence from Colonel James C. Manatt requesting clarification from the witnesses.
