This document consists of a UFO Index Card and an associated military teletype report regarding a sighting in Beverly, Massachusetts, on November 14, 1957. The report details an observation made by a young student who reported seeing two white, funnel-shaped objects, approximately one foot in diameter, moving back and forth in the sky for fifteen minutes. The witness used binoculars to observe the objects, which appeared to blink on and off. The report was processed by the 762nd Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron (762D ACWRON). The official evaluation, supported by the Ground Observer Corps (GOC), concluded that the objects were likely the airdrome beacon light of Boston, either seen directly or reflected off the low, broken cloud cover present at the time. The investigating officer concurred with this assessment, adding a handwritten note on the teletype that the report was the result of the 'overactive imagination of a small boy.'
