TL;DR

This document records a 1969 UFO sighting in Dallas, Texas, by Paul Clark Shultz. The Air Force classified the case as 'Insufficient Data' after the witness failed to return a follow-up questionnaire.

This document contains a collection of records related to a UFO sighting reported by Paul Clark Shultz in Dallas, Texas, on April 29, 1969. The primary record is a Project 10073 form, which categorizes the incident as having 'Insufficient Data.' The report notes that an AF Form 117 was sent to the observer on May 6, 1969, but had not been returned by July 30, 1969. The file includes a letter from Major James H. Aikman of the U.S. Air Force Office of Information, dated May 6, 1969, acknowledging receipt of the observer's letter and providing instructions for further reporting. The observer's own account, written in a letter dated April 30, 1969, describes seeing lights in the sky that changed into a 'box like shape,' blinked, turned into a 'straight line,' disappeared, and were followed by a red light that appeared for a minute before moving away. The observer later completed a U.S. Air Force Technical Information questionnaire, providing additional details such as the object's appearance as a 'very bright white light with red light on top' and noting that there was no sound. The document also includes various daily weather maps for April and May 1969, which appear to be part of the broader archive context rather than specific to the sighting.

On the night of Apr 29 I saw some lights in the air. They were in a line. Then they changed into a box like shape. Then they all blinked, turned into a straight line. Then it disappeared and a red light came on for a minute, and went away.
