Project 10073 Record Card — Conway, New Hampshire, 23 July 1957

This document is a Project 10073 record card detailing a sighting reported on July 23, 1957, in Conway, New Hampshire. A civilian witness, identified as a housewife, reported observing a stationary, oval-shaped object that transitioned from blue to orange in color. The observation lasted for approximately 35 minutes in the northwestern sky. The witness used binoculars to observe the object. The report includes internal routing information indicating that the sighting was processed by various Air Force intelligence units, including the Air Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson AFB and the Air Intelligence Detachment at Stewart AFB. The final conclusion reached by the investigators was that the object was the star Vega. This determination was supported by an astronomical plot that confirmed the star's position at the time of the sighting. Notes appended to the record explain that when viewed through binoculars, the star would appear larger and exhibit the reported bluish color. While one entry initially noted the sighting as unexplainable, the final assessment definitively categorized the event as an astronomical observation of Vega.
