PROJECT 10073 RECORD

This document serves as a record for Project 10073, detailing investigative efforts regarding aerial phenomena in New Mexico during early 1950. Following a high frequency of reports in the vicinity of Vaughn, New Mexico, a team of military personnel and researchers conducted interviews and site assessments to determine the feasibility of establishing a continuous monitoring program. The proposed program included the use of Askania instrument triangulation, spectrum grating on Mitchell cameras, and frequency spectrum analysis equipment provided by the Signal Corps Engineering Laboratory. Coordination for these efforts involved multiple entities, including Cambridge Research Laboratories, the University of New Mexico, and Headquarters, Air Materiel Command (AMC). The document notes that a contract with Land-Air, Inc. was increased by $20,000 to maintain constant watch at two Askania stations near Vaughn for a six-month period. Additionally, the record highlights a specific event on 11 March 1950, where Major Daynor observed and photographed phenomena at Holloman Air Force Base. Despite these efforts, the official conclusion for the specific record entry remains 'INSUFFICIENT DATA,' with a note indicating that the relevant photographs or analysis were not contained within the file.
