Project 10073 Record Card - Brooklyn, New York - 19 July 1958

This document is a Project 10073 record card detailing a UFO sighting that occurred on the night of July 19, 1958, in Brooklyn, New York. The witness, identified as an Air Control Engineer, reported observing a ring of light with a dark center that ascended, diminished in size, and moved in and out of clouds for a duration of five minutes. The report includes a teletype message (C078) sent from the 2588th Air Base Group to various Air Defense Command and Air Force intelligence units. The teletype clarifies that the object was not a radar contact and that inquiries made to Mitchel Tower, Floyd Bennett Airport, and Idlewild Airport yielded negative reports. Handwritten annotations on the document suggest that the phenomenon was likely a misinterpretation of conventional lights, such as searchlights from fairs or premieres, reflecting on the cloud cover. The official conclusion recorded on the card is 'Insufficient Data for Evaluation' and 'Unknown,' with a secondary note indicating it was likely a misinterpretation of conventional phenomena.
