Project 10073 Record Card — Bladensburg, MD, 13 Oct 52

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an accompanying observer questionnaire regarding a UFO sighting on October 13, 1952, in Bladensburg, Maryland. The witness, identified as a 15-year-old boy, reported observing three round, bluish-white objects traveling in a V-formation at an estimated altitude of 1,000 feet and a speed of 100 mph. The witness stated that the objects made no sound and lacked illumination tails. He described the objects as solid and noted that they moved slowly, eventually passing behind a tree and in front of stars. The witness was certain that the objects were not reflections because they were 'too clear.' The report was initially originated by the Maryland State Police and passed through Andrews Approach Control to Air Force intelligence personnel. The official record card explicitly labels the source as 'Doubtful.' The witness provided a detailed questionnaire, including sketches of the objects' formation and their movement across the sky, and expressed his personal opinion that the objects could have originated from outer space or another country.
