Unidentified flying object sighted near Richmond, Indiana in 1966

Summary

In May 1966, a witness in Richmond, Indiana reported observing two unusual lights in the sky. While driving on I-70, they noticed one light moving rapidly up and down, and the other descending and ascending before disappearing. Both objects remained in the same area for about 30 minutes. The Project 10073 report indicates that a personal interview was necessary to reach a conclusion, as the information provided was insufficient. This case reflects the difficulty the Air Force had in evaluating UFO reports without further details. The witness described unusual movements and a considerable duration of observation, which generated interest among authorities. However, no physical evidence or photographs were found to support the testimony. The request to complete an additional form shows the standard procedure the Air Force used to collect more detailed information, although in this case no clear resolution was reached. This document is an example of how UFO sightings were recorded and handled in the 1960s.
