Project 10073 Record Card and Air Intelligence Information Report — 5-6 March 1958

This document comprises an Air Intelligence Information Report regarding a sighting of an unidentified aerial object by two U.S. Signal Corps employees at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, on 5 and 6 March 1958. The primary witness, an electronics technician, reported observing a disc-shaped object approximately 100 feet in diameter. The object was described as whitish-blue on the edges, turning to orange upon its disappearance. The witness claimed the object trailed airliners departing from New York, hovered over Fort Monmouth at an altitude of 3000 feet, and eventually disappeared upward. The observation was reportedly made using a 200-power calibrated telescope. Despite the detailed description provided by the witnesses, the investigating officer, Lt. Colonel Frank M. Hunt, concluded that there was insufficient data for a formal evaluation. The report highlights that no corroborating reports were received from air or ground radar units in the area, and the witnesses failed to provide specific azimuth or elevation data for their observations. The document includes weather data for the dates in question, noting clear conditions with scattered clouds. The final assessment indicates that the sighting remains unexplained due to a lack of corroborating evidence and insufficient technical data from the observers.
