Project 10073 Record Card — Malden, Mass, 3 August 1955

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an accompanying Summary of Information regarding an unidentified flying object sighting reported on August 3, 1955. The incident occurred at 2050 hours over Benner Avenue in Malden, Massachusetts. The witness, a civilian housewife from Everett, Massachusetts, described the object as a 'blob-like' orange entity, approximately the size of a half-dollar. She reported that the object traveled at a speed exceeding that of a jet plane, initially following a downward trajectory toward Revere, moving in a northeasterly direction. The witness noted that the object reversed its direction and moved upwards. No sound was reported, and there was no exhaust trail. The weather conditions at the time were described as dark, humid, and approximately 75-80 degrees. The report was processed by the Headquarters First Army, Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff, G-2, Intelligence, and forwarded to the Department of the Army. The official conclusion reached by the evaluating agency, ATIC, was that there was insufficient data to perform a proper evaluation of the sighting.
