This document is a Project 10073 record card detailing a sighting that occurred on September 6, 1956, in Dorchester, Massachusetts. The observation, made by a civilian source, lasted for five minutes. The witness described a single object that was oval or round in shape and appeared white or light bluish-white in color, with a size comparable to the planet Mars. The object was observed traveling at the speed of a jet below the cloud layer. Its flight path was generally southwest, during which it performed a complete circle before continuing in a southwest direction. The witness noted that the object was constantly decreasing in altitude and eventually disappeared behind trees after being observed for three separate intervals of five minutes each. The official evaluation concluded that the object was likely an aircraft. The reasoning provided for this assessment was that the object's behavior—specifically its decreasing altitude and circling pattern—conformed to the criteria for an aircraft landing at Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts. The record card notes that there was no additional report on file regarding this incident.
