Project 10073 Record Card — Mt. Holly, New Jersey, 25 July 1958

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated teletype communications regarding an aerial sighting on July 25, 1958, in the vicinity of Mt. Holly and Riverside, New Jersey. A witness identified as Major Seeeney reported observing a round, shiny object at an altitude of approximately 10,000 feet. The observation lasted for 25 minutes, with the object following a track from the northwest to the southeast. The teletype correspondence, dated July 26, 1958, clarifies that the object was a weather balloon equipped with a 20-pound transmitter. The investigation by the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) concluded that the sighting was definitively a balloon. This conclusion was supported by meteorological data indicating that winds were blowing from the northwest to the southeast, consistent with the object's observed flight path. Furthermore, the object was tracked moving in that direction and was observed 12 miles to the east a few minutes later. The report explicitly notes that the object was not a radar contact and that no photographs were taken.
