Project 10073 Record: UFO Observation, Los Angeles, California, 1967

This document consists of a record from Project 10073 regarding a UFO sighting in Los Angeles, California, in 1967. The primary record is a correspondence from Colonel James C. Manatt of the Foreign Technology Division (FTD) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, addressed to a civilian witness. The Air Force informed the witness that their initial report was insufficient for a scientific evaluation and requested that they complete an FTD Form 164 to provide more detailed information. The file includes handwritten responses from the witness, who identified themselves as an eight-year-old. The witness described observing an object at approximately 8:30 PM, moving from west to east at an altitude of 20 to 30 feet above their backyard. The object was described as being dark gray, ring-shaped, and emitting a white-red light, with no audible sound. Furthermore, the witness reported seeing a small figure, approximately three feet tall, wearing a white suit and a gold helmet, who appeared to be carrying something in their arms before dropping it and returning to the object. The official conclusion of the Air Force remained that there was insufficient data for a formal evaluation.
