Project 10073 Record Card — Brooktondale, New York, 2 November 1957

This document is a Project 10073 record card and associated teletype report concerning a UFO sighting in Brooktondale, New York, on 2 November 1957. The witness, a 50-year-old training aid supervisor with ROTC Cornell, reported observing a single, round, milky bluish-white object, described as being the size of a basketball at arm's length. The object was observed for a duration of two hours and ten minutes, appearing to come over the top of a hill every few seconds. The report notes that there were no photos taken, no radar contact, and no physical evidence of the object. Weather conditions at the time were reported as clear with light mist. Official evaluations of the sighting suggest that the phenomenon was likely caused by a searchlight or beacon. Handwritten notes on the report express skepticism, suggesting the sighting was likely a hallucination caused by the mist and noting that the report was insufficient for evaluation due to a lack of specific directional or azimuth data, despite the long duration of the observation.
