Project 10073 Record Card — Newington, Connecticut, October 1956

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated correspondence regarding a UFO sighting reported by a youth from Newington, Connecticut. The witness, who was twelve years old at the time of writing in October 1958, submitted photographs of what they believed to be flying saucers. The witness stated that the photographs were taken two years prior, when they were ten years old. The witness explained that they had developed the film and printed the photos themselves, noting that one picture was a regular exposure where the object did not show up, while a subsequent overexposed shot captured the object. The witness also included a postscript stating they had no spectacular story to accompany the images. The Air Force, represented by Major Lawrence J. Tacker of the Public Information Division, acknowledged receipt of the letter and photographs on October 30, 1958. The official conclusion recorded on the Project 10073 card was that the photographs were too old and the information provided was insufficient to properly evaluate or analyze the sighting. The file includes the record card, the witness's original letter, and the formal response from the Air Force.
