Project 10073 Record: UFO Observation, November 4, 1967

This document contains the records for a UFO sighting reported on November 4, 1967, in Hanover, New Hampshire. The witness, a 19-year-old male, reported observing a black, circular object approximately 5 feet in diameter and 3 feet thick. According to the witness, the object passed only 5 feet above his car, made no noise, and emitted an odor described as ozone. The observation lasted approximately 10 seconds. The witness stated the object suddenly sped up and moved away over the roof of his car. The Air Force initiated an investigation under Project 10073 and in accordance with AFR 80-17. Major Frank Juns, Jr. of the 509th Bombardment Wing at Pease Air Force Base conducted the investigation. He contacted RAPCON, local law enforcement, and tower personnel, all of whom reported no unusual activity or traffic in the area at the time of the sighting. Weather conditions at Pease AFB were recorded as having very light drizzle and fog with low visibility. The Air Force concluded that there was insufficient data for a scientific evaluation, noting that the witness failed to return the necessary AF Form 117 to provide further details, such as precise angles of elevation and azimuth. The correspondence between the Foreign Technology Division and the 509th Bombardment Wing highlights the administrative process of tracking and attempting to investigate these reports.
