Project 10073 Record Card — Manchester, New Hampshire, 12 August 1956

This document is a Project 10073 Record Card documenting an unidentified aerial phenomenon sighting in Manchester, New Hampshire, on 12 August 1956. The report indicates that the observation lasted for one hour. The witness described the object as round, approximately the size of a baseball, and noted that it exhibited an up and down motion while glowing and dimming. The record card indicates that no photographs were taken and there was no radar contact associated with the event. The investigating authorities found the information provided to be extremely limited. Specifically, the report notes a lack of data regarding the object's elevation, bearings, maneuvers, and physical texture. Handwritten notes on the document suggest that the object might have been an astronomical body, potentially Mars, but emphasize that no definitive conclusion could be reached without more precise positional data. The final assessment marked on the card is 'Insufficient Data for Evaluation'. The document includes various handwritten annotations, including questions about the object's maneuvers, features, and trail, as well as a note stating that the object could be either an astronomical body or a balloon, but that there was insufficient data to confirm.
