Project 10073 Record — New Carlisle, Indiana, December 1968

This document contains a collection of records related to a series of UFO sightings reported by a civilian in New Carlisle, Indiana, in late December 1968 and early January 1969. The observer, a woman, reported seeing bright, glowing objects that exhibited unusual flight characteristics, including hovering and moving straight up. She claimed the objects were solid, emitted a vapor stream, and were accompanied by a loud buzzing sound. She also reported that the objects appeared to influence local electrical systems, specifically causing lights at a nearby service station and a street light to turn on and off. The observer attempted to photograph the objects using a Polaroid Swinger camera, but reported that the resulting film was black or damaged, and that her camera subsequently malfunctioned. The Air Force investigation, conducted under Project 10073, concluded that the report was 'confusing' and noted that the photographic evidence was inconclusive. The file also includes correspondence between the observer and Air Force personnel, reflecting the observer's frustration with the investigation and her insistence on the reality of her experience. Additionally, the document contains unrelated materials, including weather maps and reports from the NICAP Massachusetts Investigating Committee regarding UFO sightings in Iceland and Massachusetts, which appear to have been included in the same archival file.
