Project 10073 Record Card — Long Island, New York, 24 May 1955

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated military teletype report regarding an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sighting that occurred on May 24, 1955, over East Islip, Long Island, New York. The report was filed in compliance with Air Force Regulation (AFR) 200-2. A civilian witness reported observing six to eight objects flying in a 'V' formation, described as having a 'slight pinkish' color. The duration of the observation was approximately 30 seconds, with the objects traveling from East to South at an estimated speed of 20 knots. The report indicates that the objects were approximately four feet in size. The military investigation, led by 1st Lt David A. Brown of the 646th ACWRON at Highlands Air Force Station, New Jersey, determined that there was insufficient data to reach a definitive conclusion. The official assessment suggested the objects were 'possibly a/c' (aircraft), but ultimately categorized the case as having insufficient data for an accurate evaluation. The teletype transmission confirms the administrative routing of the report to various commands, including the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, the 26th Air Division, and the Eastern Air Defense Force.
