Project Iowa Record Card — Bronx, New York, 27 June 1952

This document consists of a Project Iowa record card and associated notes detailing a sighting of an unidentified aerial phenomenon on June 27, 1952, in the Bronx, New York. The primary witness, a housewife, reported the incident to Captain Hausman of the Public Information Office of the Department of Defense. According to the report, the witness was on the roof of her apartment building early on the morning of June 27 when she observed a round, disc-shaped object hovering in the direction of LaGuardia Airport. The witness described the object as a thick, dull gray craft with a light around its edges. She reported that the object stood up on end, began spinning from right to left, and then departed at a 'terrific speed' toward downtown Manhattan, disappearing suddenly. The witness was accompanied by her husband, her 15-year-old son, her daughter, and a neighbor. The report notes that the witness's conclusion that the object was a 'flying saucer' was influenced by her neighbor, who claimed to have seen a similar object after hearing the witness's account. The documentation includes handwritten notes summarizing the event, confirming the time as 0140 EDST, and noting that the sky was clear at the time of the observation.
