PROJECT 10073 RECORD CARD — PASSAIC, NEW JERSEY, APRIL 1956

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card, a personal letter, and a technical information sheet regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon sighting in Passaic, New Jersey, in April 1956. The witness, a 15-year-old student, reported observing a very bright white object that appeared to be the size of a pea at arm's length. The object was described as having sharply outlined edges and was estimated to be traveling at 850 mph at an altitude of 10,000 feet. The witness noted that the object made no sound and eventually disappeared below the horizon. The witness had previously attempted to obtain an Air Force 'Questioneer' regarding the sighting, eventually securing one from a friend and submitting his answers to the Air Technical Intelligence Center (A.T.I.C.) in Dayton, Ohio, in July 1959. The official evaluation on the record card indicates that the sighting could not be categorized as a balloon or aircraft due to a lack of sufficient information, specifically noting that the witness did not provide the shape of the object or its flight path. Consequently, the investigation concluded that there was too little information to allow for any valid conclusion.
