Project 10073 Record — Huntington, New York, July 20, 1968

This document contains a record of a UFO sighting reported by a civilian in Huntington, New York, on July 20, 1968. The witness described observing a very small, star-like white light that did not blink and eventually faded away, similar to an airplane. The witness explicitly noted that the object was not a comet, meteor, or asteroid, and that they had checked the New York Times for satellite listings for that night without success. The witness further noted that the Times usually listed satellite locations in the middle of the sky or near the horizons. Following the report, Major James H. Aikman of the USAF Office of Information responded to the witness on August 1, 1968. Major Aikman informed the witness that the report had been referred to his office and that, due to a lack of additional information, an explanation could not be provided. The witness was encouraged to complete an attached questionnaire to facilitate further investigation by technical personnel at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The official record for the incident, filed under Project 10073, categorized the case as having 'insufficient data for evaluation.' As of September 4, 1968, the requested questionnaire had not been returned by the witness.
