PROJECT 10073 RECORD CARD — New Briton, Connecticut, 25 August 1956

This document is a Project 10073 record card detailing an unidentified aerial phenomenon sighting reported on 25 August 1956 in New Briton, Connecticut. The report was filed by the 775th ACWRON based in Montauk, New York, and directed to the Air Defense Command at Ent Air Force Base, Colorado Springs. The sighting was reported by two 17-year-old civilians who observed a single, round, white object that was described as being very bright and roughly the size of a quarter. The object was observed for approximately two minutes, during which time it moved north, directly away from the witnesses. The report indicates that no photographs were taken, and there was no radar contact associated with the event. The weather conditions at the time were reported as clear. The official evaluation of the incident, recorded on the card, characterizes the report as poor and concludes that there was insufficient data to reach a definitive identification, though it suggests the object was possibly an aircraft. The document includes teletype communications between various military intelligence units, including the 26th Air Division and the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, confirming the administrative processing of the report under the UFAB (Unidentified Flying Aerial Body) reporting system.
