Project 10073 Record — Williams, Minnesota, 17 December 1968

This document contains the official Air Force record and correspondence regarding a UFO sighting reported in Williams, Minnesota, on 17 December 1968. The witness, a 30-year-old individual, observed a star-like light with a blue trail for approximately three hours and 25 minutes. The object was described as being slightly larger than a star and appeared green in color. The observation was made while looking out a window, with the object maintaining a southwest heading in the direction of the town of Baudette, Minnesota. The Air Force, through the Aerial Phenomena Office at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, determined that the information provided was insufficient for a scientific investigation. Consequently, the case was classified as 'INSUFFICIENT DATA.' The Air Force sent a letter to the observer on 6 January 1969, requesting that they complete an AF Form 117 to provide more specific details. However, as of 12 February 1969, the form had not been returned. The documentation includes the original project record, a formal letter from Lt. Colonel Hector Quintanilla, Jr., and the incoming staff message detailing the sighting parameters, weather conditions, and the lack of physical evidence or radar contact.
