TL;DR

A civilian witness in Queens, New York, reported two glowing, circular objects moving south at high altitude on 11 January 1955. Military intelligence recorded the event, ultimately concluding the objects were possibly aircraft.

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and a related military teletype message concerning a UFO sighting reported on 11 January 1955 in Queens, New York. The primary witness, identified as Mrs. Fazekas, reported observing two objects of a circular shape at high altitude. The objects were described as moving on a southerly course at a speed slightly slower than a jet aircraft. A notable characteristic of the objects was their appearance, which the witness compared to an ordinary light bulb, noting that they emitted a yellowish light. The military report, transmitted by the Third Naval District (THIRD NAVDIST) to the Director of Intelligence at USAF Headquarters, confirms that the witness reported the sighting to the District Intelligence Office (DIO) on 12 January 1955. The report explicitly notes that visibility was good at the time of the sighting. The official conclusion recorded on the Project 10073 card is 'Possible a/c', suggesting that the military investigators attributed the observation to conventional aircraft. No radar contact was reported, and no photographic evidence was obtained. The documentation provides a clear, albeit brief, account of a civilian report processed through military intelligence channels during the mid-1950s.
