Project 10073 Record Card — Concord, New Hampshire, 5 September 1956
AI-Generated Summary
A 1956 sighting report from Concord, New Hampshire, involving three luminous objects observed by civilians. The investigation concluded that the data was insufficient to identify the objects, despite noting potential balloon-like movement.
This document consists of a Project 10073 Record Card and an associated military teletype report concerning an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sighting that occurred on September 5, 1956, in Concord, New Hampshire. The report documents a sighting by civilians, including a housewife, who observed three objects described as being three times the size of a star. The objects were characterized as bright, almost luminous lights that moved fast and were observed for a duration of one hour. The teletype report, originating from USNAS Brunswick, Maine, confirms the details of the sighting, noting that there was no physical evidence and that the objects were observed at 0725Z. The official evaluation by the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) concluded that the data provided was conflicting and insufficient. Specifically, the investigators noted the contradiction between the objects' high speed and their prolonged presence in the area for one hour. Although the upward motion of the objects suggested the possibility of a balloon, the lack of corroborating data prevented a definitive conclusion, leading to the classification of the incident as having insufficient data for evaluation.
Some conflicting data. Object moved fast yet in area one hour. Motion upward indicates possible balloon; however, no data to substantiate this conclusion.
