This document contains a Project 10073 record regarding a UFO sighting that occurred on December 6, 1967, in North Cutler, Maine. Two student witnesses, described by the principal of Washington Academy as reliable, observed a reddish-orange object at approximately 1730 hours EST. The object was described as making a humming or whining sound and was seen drifting down in a straight descent. The observation lasted for approximately 10 seconds. The witnesses were located on Route 191 in North Cutler at the time of the sighting.
