Project 10073 Record: UFO Observation, 12 January 1968

This document contains the Project Blue Book record for a UFO sighting reported on January 12, 1968, in Brownsville, Pennsylvania. The primary witness was a 13-year-old male who described observing a stationary, star-like object emitting a mixture of white and yellow light for approximately six minutes. The object was observed at a 30-degree elevation in the northeast. The witness, who expressed a personal interest in astronomy, noted that the object appeared brighter than the surrounding stars and did not have a tail. The official conclusion recorded by Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., of the Aerial Phenomena Office, categorized the sighting as 'Possible star/planet' but ultimately marked it as 'Insuff Data' (Insufficient Data). The report notes that the witness's father was also present and listed as a witness, but he failed to return the requested AF Form 117, which would have provided further details. The file includes correspondence from the witness to the Air Force requesting information on rockets and satellites, as well as the completed technical questionnaire regarding the sighting.
