Project 10073 Record Card — Greenwood Lake, New Jersey, October 15, 1952

This document consists of a Project 10073 Record Card and associated teletype communications regarding an Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) sighting that occurred on October 15, 1952, at Greenwood Lake, New Jersey. The sighting was reported by two individuals, identified as an engineer from Midland Park, New Jersey, and an insurance salesman from Wyckoff, New Jersey. The witnesses were fishing when they observed a single, orange, star-shaped object, described as being the size of a pinpoint. The object traveled from South to North in a wavering fashion for a duration of approximately 50 seconds. The weather conditions at the time were reported as clear. The report indicates that no photographs were taken, and there was no radar contact associated with the event. The official conclusion recorded on the card states that the object was a 'possible a/c' (aircraft), but explicitly notes that there was 'too little info for correct evaluation.' The teletype communication, dated October 16, 1952, confirms the details of the sighting and routes the information to various military commands, including the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and Headquarters USAF. The document serves as a standard administrative record for the investigation of aerial phenomena during the early 1950s, highlighting the military's systematic approach to collecting and categorizing civilian reports, even when the data provided was insufficient for a conclusive identification.
