Project 10073 Record — Greenville, New York, 24 September 1968

This document is a Project Blue Book record concerning a civilian sighting of an unidentified aerial object in Greenville, New York, on September 24, 1968. The witness, a civilian, reported observing a large, solid silver, flat-topped triangular object for approximately 30 minutes, beginning around 11:00 P.M. The object featured four blinking yellow lights on its bottom and two view slits near the top. The witness observed the object while standing near her garage, using a telescope to study the moon. She noted that the object was motionless and made no sound. The witness also mentioned a relay tower located about a quarter-mile from her home, which had been built in the summer of 1967, and noted that the object appeared to be about 50 to 100 feet above and to the right of this tower. The Air Force investigation, documented in a letter dated October 16, 1968, from Major James H. Aikman, noted significant inconsistencies in the witness's account, specifically regarding the object's location, which was initially reported as being in the south and later as being in the North-Northeast (NNE). Furthermore, the investigator noted that the witness made no attempt to alert others to the phenomenon despite the extended duration of the sighting. Consequently, the official conclusion for the case was categorized as 'Other (CONFLICTING DATA).'
