PROJECT 10073 RECORD CARD — Albany, N.Y. — 24 July 1957

On July 24, 1957, at 0632 ZST, a sighting of two unidentified objects was reported in the vicinity of Albany, New York. The witness, S/Sgt Thomas C. Forth, who was stationed at the Filter Center, described the objects as having a 'star or snow crystal' shape and a green color. The objects were observed toward the North-Northeast for a duration of approximately 5 to 10 seconds. The report notes that there was no reported movement of the objects. Military radar units, including the 656th ACWRON at Saratoga Springs, were consulted regarding the incident. The records indicate that there was no radar contact made with the objects at the time of the sighting, and no other radar sites reported any contact. The official evaluation of the incident, documented on a Project 10073 record card, suggests that the objects were likely meteors. However, because no motion was reported by the witness, the case was ultimately categorized as having insufficient data for a conclusive evaluation. The documentation includes a series of teletype communications between various military commands, including the Air Defense Command in Denver and the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, confirming the details of the report and the lack of corroborating radar evidence.
