Project 10073 Record Card — Tuxedo, New York, 15 February 1957

This document is a Project 10073 record card and associated correspondence regarding a UFO sighting on February 15, 1957, in Tuxedo, New York. A physician and his wife observed a large, star-shaped, oval object with a white center and a red-pink aura. The object was described as swinging back and forth like a pendulum in a 10-degree arc for approximately 13 to 14 minutes. During the observation, four smaller objects emerged from the main body in pairs, rose rapidly, and vanished. The main object eventually rose straight up at high speed and disappeared. The observers noted that the object appeared to be beyond the hills in the direction of Rye, New York. Official military analysis concluded that the object was likely a balloon, citing that the object's movement coincided with local wind directions. However, handwritten analyst notes on the document express frustration with the lack of follow-up, stating that the report is 'almost 50% UNKNOWN' and that no attempt was made to conduct further checks or contact the witnesses to definitively identify the object.
