This document is a Project 10073 record card and associated military correspondence regarding a UFO sighting reported on August 7, 1957, in Lakehurst, New Jersey. A civilian witness observed two star-like, yellow objects moving in tandem at a very high altitude and speed, heading south. The observation lasted approximately 10 seconds. The report notes that the objects disappeared behind a cloud. The military investigation, coordinated through NAS Lakehurst and reported to the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson AFB, concluded that the objects were likely meteors. This conclusion was supported by a remark in the correspondence noting that the date of the sighting coincided with a period where meteor activity was approaching its maximum.
