Project 10073 Records — Memphis, Tennessee, October 1968

This document contains records from Project 10073 regarding a UFO sighting reported in Memphis, Tennessee, on 20 October 1968. The primary witness, an 18-year-old student at Christian Brothers College, reported observing a point source of light that changed color from red to white and back to red over a period of 5 to 8 minutes. The witness submitted an AF Form 117 questionnaire to the Air Force. The official Air Force conclusion for this incident was 'AIRCRAFT'. Correspondence from Lt. Col. Hector Quintanilla, Jr., of the Foreign Technology Division, indicates that the initial information provided by the witness was insufficient for a scientific investigation, leading to the request for the formal questionnaire. Handwritten notes on the file indicate that the witness also reported a sighting on 30 September 1968 and that the report was evaluated as 'unreliable'. The file includes multiple iterations of the sighting questionnaire, sketches, and correspondence between the Air Force and the witness, documenting the administrative process of the investigation.
