Project 10073 Record — Sighting Report, Utica, New York, 1958

This document contains a Project 10073 record regarding a UFO sighting reported in 1966, which allegedly occurred on March 16, 1958, near Remsen, New York. The witness, writing from Barneveld, New York, on April 3, 1966, describes walking along a country road on a clear, cold night with snow on the ground. The witness initially mistook a light for a train, but realized the object was veering away from the tracks and moving toward them at an altitude of approximately 100 feet. The object, described as having a blue-green haze and emitting a bright white light similar to a 'wash-tub sized flashlight,' caused the witness to feel heat and lose their voice. The witness ducked near a snowbank as the object passed over the woods in a northerly direction. The official conclusion of the report is that because the sighting was reported eight years after the fact, it is impossible to verify, and the data is likely distorted; therefore, it is classified as 'Information Only.' The document also includes supplementary materials, such as a newspaper clipping titled 'Constellations Shine' by James Stokley and a report on a 1958 sighting in Diamond Head, Hawaii, involving a college student who allegedly filmed nine UFOs. Additionally, a table of sightings from January 1958 is included, listing various reports and their evaluations, such as 'Insufficient Data' or 'Astro (Meteor).'
