Project 10073 Record: Sighting Report - Brentwood, Long Island, New York

This document contains a Project 10073 record regarding a UFO sighting reported by a civilian in Brentwood, Long Island, New York, during the summer of 1967. The witness described a single object that appeared similar to a yellow moon in color and brightness. Upon initial observation, the object was reported to be hovering and was described as resembling a 'toreador's hat.' The witness further stated that the object backed away and disappeared. The total duration of the observation was reported as two minutes. The report was subsequently classified as an 'unreliable report' by the Foreign Technology Division. Correspondence included in the file shows that the witness wrote to Project Blue Book at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base requesting information on how to file a report, noting that they also believed they had contact with an alien being. Colonel James C. Manatt of the Foreign Technology Division responded on September 27, 1967, informing the witness that the information provided was insufficient for a scientific evaluation and requesting that they complete an FTD Form 164.
