Project 10073 Record Card — Meredith, New Hampshire, 11 August 1956

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated military communications regarding a UFO sighting in Meredith, New Hampshire, on August 11, 1956. A civilian witness reported observing a yellow, ball-like object that appeared to hover and sway as if moved by the wind. The object was estimated to be between 80 and 100 feet above the terrain and was observed for approximately one hour. The sighting was initially reported to the 654th ACWRON at USNAS Brunswick, Maine, and subsequently relayed to various Air Force intelligence commands, including the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The report notes that the object was sighted in the southwest, and a second observer confirmed the details of the sighting. The official conclusion reached by the evaluating agency was that the object was an astronomical body, specifically identifying Spica, Arcturus, or Antares as the likely candidates based on their elevation and position in the sky at the time of the observation. The documentation includes the original record card, a transmission log, and the follow-up message (OTI 08126) which superseded a previous report (COC 28117).
