Project 1473 Record Card — Vineland, New Jersey, 4 Nov 52

This document contains a Project 1473 record card and an accompanying observer questionnaire regarding a UAP sighting in Vineland, New Jersey, on November 4, 1952. The witness, a 59-year-old housewife, reported observing two groups of objects she described as 'whirling discs of light' while standing on her open porch at approximately 17:40. She estimated the objects were at an altitude of 1,000 feet and traveling at a speed of 300 miles per hour. The witness noted that the objects appeared in a 'blank middle space' between a long, low bank of clouds near the horizon and a clearer area of sky. She described the objects as being roughly the size of a bicycle wheel and white in color. The observation lasted for approximately 30 seconds, during which time she reported hearing no sound. The witness indicated that she was certain of the time of the sighting but was less certain about her estimates of size, speed, and altitude. She explicitly noted that there were unusual cloud formations present at the time of the sighting. The document includes a series of sketches provided by the witness illustrating the motion and arrangement of the objects, which she depicted as moving in a series. The witness stated that she had not reported the sighting to any other official prior to completing this questionnaire.
