Project 10073 Record — Sighting Report, Atlanta, Louisiana, August 29, 1968

This document contains a Project 10073 record regarding a UFO sighting reported by a civilian in Atlanta, Louisiana, on August 29, 1968. The witness, along with a friend named Jennifer, observed a blinking blue light at approximately 2025 CDT. The object was described as being as bright as a fourth-magnitude star and was in sight for approximately 60 seconds. The witness noted that the object moved faster than a satellite. The official conclusion for the incident is listed as 'CONFLICTING DATA' due to discrepancies in the witness's account; in an initial letter, the observer claimed the object was directly overhead, whereas in the formal questionnaire, they indicated the object was first seen in the North and disappeared in the North-Northwest (NNW). The document includes a formal response from Major James H. Aikman of the Air Force Office of Information, dated September 4, 1968, acknowledging the report and advising the witness to complete the attached questionnaire for further evaluation by technical personnel at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The witness also reported having seen another UFO during the first week of August 1968.
