Project 10073 Record — Davenport, Iowa, March 1968

This document details a Project 10073 investigation into a UFO sighting reported in Davenport, Iowa, on March 3, 1968. The observer, whose name is illegible in the provided records, reported sighting a grey, transparent, disc-shaped object near the Municipal Ball Park at approximately 3:40 pm. The observer claimed the object moved in a straight line toward the south and that there were 14 other witnesses to the event. However, the observer failed to provide the names or addresses of these witnesses despite multiple requests from the Air Force. The investigation was further hampered by the observer's inconsistent reporting; in various communications, the duration of the sighting was stated as 5 minutes, 15 minutes, and less than 10 seconds. The observer also failed to submit the original Polaroid photograph for scientific analysis, providing only copies. Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., Chief of the Aerial Phenomena Office, repeatedly requested the original negatives and photographic data to conduct a proper investigation. The case was ultimately concluded as an 'unreliable report' with 'insufficient data for evaluation.' The file also notes that the same observer reported a separate sighting on November 4, 1967.
