Project 10073 Record — UFO Observation, 27 November 1967

On November 27, 1967, at approximately 1900 hours, a civilian witness in Las Vegas, Nevada, observed a bright white, pulsating light moving from the north to the south. The observation lasted for 10 seconds. The witness, described as a high school graduate and deemed reliable, reported that while watching the object, the lights in her apartment flickered for two or three seconds. She noted that there was no sound associated with the object. The incident was reported to the Air Force and processed under Project 10073. The official conclusion reached by the Foreign Technology Division was that the sighting was a 'Possible (AIRCRAFT),' noting that there was no evidence the object caused the electrical flickering and that the description was consistent with previous aircraft reports. Despite this, the investigating officer, 2LT Peter B. Thatcher, expressed personal doubt, stating, 'Since there was no sound at all, I doubt if this could have been an airplane.' The Air Force subsequently informed the witness that the initial information provided was insufficient for a scientific investigation and requested that she complete an AF Form 117 for further analysis.
