Project 10073 Record — Sighting near Mason, Texas, November 1967

This document contains a series of records, correspondence, and completed questionnaires regarding a UFO sighting reported by a physician near Mason, Texas, on November 25, 1967. The witness, who was on a deer stand approximately 15 to 20 feet above the ground, reported observing two bright lights moving from west to east at 5:58 A.M. The witness noted that the objects appeared to move faster than typical satellites. One object reportedly came to an abrupt stop, changed color from bluish-white to reddish and back, and remained stationary. The other object continued its eastward trajectory. The witness also reported a separate incident at 2:00 A.M. involving a whirring sound and a column of light appearing at a window. The Air Force, through the Foreign Technology Division and the Aerial Phenomena Branch (Project Blue Book), initiated an investigation, sending the witness an AF Form 117 questionnaire. The witness completed the form, providing details on the sighting, including sketches of the objects' paths and their angular size relative to a match head. The official conclusion reached by the investigators was that the sighting was likely caused by satellites and stars, noting that the moving objects were satellites and the stationary object was a star.
