Project 10073 Record Cards and Incident Reports — October 1957

This document contains two Project 10073 record cards and associated military teletype reports regarding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sightings over Long Island, New York, in October 1957. The first incident occurred on October 9, 1957, at 0045Z. A civilian witness in Brentwood, Long Island, reported observing a white, star-like object, described as the size of a pea, moving from the west to the southwest. The witness reported a deep roaring sound accompanying the light. The military investigation concluded this was a meteor sighting. The second incident occurred on October 19, 1957, at 0440Z. A civilian witness in Westhempstead, Long Island, reported seeing several round, green objects that appeared like flares. The witness noted the objects were low on the horizon, appeared stationary, and eventually faded out of sight. This incident was also classified as a probable meteor sighting. Both reports include technical details such as weather conditions, observer identifying information, and the specific military units involved in the reporting chain, including the 26th Air Division at Roslyn AFS and the 4602nd AISS at Stewart AFB. The documents reflect the standard military procedure for documenting and evaluating civilian reports of aerial phenomena during this period, with the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) serving as the primary evaluation body.
