This document contains records related to a UFO sighting reported on 29 March 1968 in Richmond, Indiana. The case, designated as Project 10373, involved an observer who provided a 'very sketchy' description of an unidentified aerial phenomenon to a duty officer. The object was described as having red, green, and blue colors, and was observed for approximately 20 minutes, during which time it was seen moving behind trees. The observer reported no sound. The Air Force, through the Aerial Phenomena Office (Project Blue Book) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, attempted to follow up on the report by sending AF Form 117 questionnaires to the observer and a witness. However, the documentation indicates that as of 28 May 1968, neither the observer nor the witness had returned the completed forms. Consequently, the official conclusion for the case was recorded as 'INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR EVALUATION.' The file includes correspondence from Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., Chief of the Aerial Phenomena Office, dated 24 April 1968, requesting that the witnesses complete the provided forms to assist in the evaluation of the observation.
