Project 10073 Record Card and Related Correspondence — Brooklyn, New York, September 1956

This document consists of a series of Project 10073 record cards and associated military teletype reports detailing UFO sightings in Brooklyn, New York, occurring between September 20 and 21, 1956. The reports were compiled by 1/LT John F. Curry III of the 26th Air Division (Defense). Witnesses, including a 25-year-old salesman and a 13-year-old student, reported observing two objects in the sky. Descriptions of the objects varied slightly but generally included round shapes, one of which was described as the size of a half-dollar, with bluish-white and yellowish-white lights, and a red blinking light. The witnesses reported hearing a roaring or whooshing sound and a high-pitched hum. The objects were observed maneuvering, stopping, and flying away together. The duration of the sightings ranged from 45 to 75 seconds. The official conclusion reached by the reporting officer and concurred with by the evaluating agency was that the sightings were likely caused by aircraft, noting that the reported lights and sounds were consistent with jet aircraft. The report mentions that other children in the Bensonhurst area had also reported similar sightings. The documentation includes standard military teletype headers and the official Project 10073 record card format used by the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC).
