AI-Generated Summary
A 1968 UFO sighting report from Shepherdsville, Kentucky, was filed under Project Blue Book. The case was closed as 'insufficient data' because the witness failed to provide requested clarifications regarding distance and time.
This document is a Project Blue Book record concerning a UFO sighting reported on 1 July 1968 in Shepherdsville, Kentucky. The witness, an owner of a drywall company, was standing on a road in the open countryside due to automobile difficulty when he observed an object moving from due north to south. The witness described the object as self-luminous, solid with sharp edges, and shaped like the conventional idea of a flying saucer. He estimated the object's speed at 2000 mph and the duration of the sighting at 15 minutes. The witness also provided an estimate of 150 for the distance but failed to specify whether this was in feet, yards, or miles. The Air Force, through the Aerial Phenomena Office, attempted to follow up with the witness by sending an AF Form 117 and a letter requesting clarification on the time zone and the distance unit. As of 3 September 1968, the witness had not returned the requested information. Consequently, the official conclusion recorded on the Project 10073 record is 'INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR EVALUATION'.
The observer sighted an object that looked "like a conventional idea of a flying saucer."
