Project 10073 Record Card — Long Beach, New York, 31 October 1958

This document contains a collection of reports and records regarding aerial phenomena observed in October 1958. The primary record is a Project 10073 card detailing a sighting on October 31, 1958, in Long Beach, New York. Two objects were observed by a witness and his wife; they were described as round and triangular, yellowish-red in color, and the size of a pea. The objects were seen moving from the Northeast to the Southwest and faded after four to five seconds. The official conclusion for this incident was that they were meteor sightings. The document also includes an operational cable (dated November 1, 1958) confirming the details of this sighting and providing additional context, such as the observers being at home and the weather being clear. Furthermore, the file contains press clippings from the 'Space Craft Digest' (Fall 1958) describing other sightings in October 1958, including a 'big fiery object' seen in Eastern Washington on October 18, and a 'brightly-glowing blimp-shaped UFO' seen near Disneyland, California, on October 23. Finally, the document includes an article from 'Science News Letter' (September 27, 1958) regarding the brightness of Mars and a total solar eclipse, providing astronomical context for the period.
