AI-Generated Summary
A Project 10073 record card documenting an unreliable UFO sighting report from Georgetown, Massachusetts, in 1957. The report was dismissed by ATIC due to a lack of corroborating evidence and the source's bias.
This document is a Project 10073 record card documenting an alleged UFO sighting in Georgetown, Massachusetts, on 8 February 1957. The report originated from an FBI file, which contained a lengthy account of various theories regarding flying saucers. Within this report, the source claimed to have observed a group of saucers in a clear, blue, sunlit sky. The source further alleged that one half-hour later, they observed two more objects in greater detail. The source attributed their interest in the subject to having recently read books by UFO authors identified in the document as Scully and Keyhow. The official evaluation of this report by the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) concluded that the report was unreliable. The investigators noted that while the date of the report was firmly established, there were no other records of strange or unusual objects in the area at that time. The evaluators suggested that the source's pre-existing belief in flying saucers likely influenced the nature of their report. The record card explicitly states that there is no report on file regarding this incident.
Source is obviously a strong believer in "saucers" which may have colored his very limited report.
