Project 10073 Record Card — Rensselehr, N.Y., 14 July 1951

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and a supporting memorandum from the Office of Special Investigations (OSI) District Office No. 22, dated August 6, 1951. The report details a sighting that occurred on July 14, 1951, near Rensselear, New York. According to the report, a witness identified as a woman contacted the office to report observing two silver objects in the sky at approximately 2:00 PM. The witness stated that the objects remained in view for approximately five minutes, during which time they descended to a low altitude, ascended, and performed maneuvers. The witness explicitly noted that the objects did not appear to be airplanes. The OSI memorandum, signed by Lt. Colonel Roger Hicks, confirms that the information was received via a letter from the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Special Agent in Charge, Paul J. Shine. The OSI concluded that no investigative action was warranted by their office and forwarded the information to the Commanding General of the Air Materiel Command at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base for any action deemed advisable. The record card summarizes the event, noting the objects' color, behavior, and the witness's assessment that they were not conventional aircraft, while the final conclusion on the card lists the event as 'Possibly Aircraft'.
