UFO seen in Detroit by a 10-year-old child

Summary

A 10-year-old child in Detroit, Michigan, reported seeing a UFO in September 1966. According to his testimony, the object resembled a falling star but was a flying saucer that circled and disappeared behind a building. Although the child described the event in some detail, authorities considered him an unreliable source due to his age. There was no physical evidence or photographs to support the sighting.

The official report, under Project 10073, concluded that the testimony was insufficient for a technical evaluation. The observer, a civilian, saw the object for about 10 seconds. Despite the lack of concrete data, the case was filed as part of UFO investigations of the time.
