Project 10073 Record Card — Baltimore, Maryland, 10 January 1959

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated correspondence regarding a UFO sighting reported in Baltimore, Maryland, on January 10, 1959. The witness, who claimed to be the president of an astronomical society, reported observing a white, glowing, round object following an airliner at approximately 1845 hours. The witness observed the object through 8x30 field glasses and noted that it maintained a position about three feet behind the aircraft for a duration of one minute. The witness explicitly stated that they did not believe the object was a 'flying saucer' and ruled out astronomical phenomena based on their own expertise. The report was filed with the Baltimore Air Defence Filter Center. Following the initial report, the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base sent a letter to the witness on February 2, 1959, requesting that they complete an enclosed questionnaire to provide further details. However, the witness did not reply to this request. Consequently, the case was officially closed and categorized as having insufficient data for evaluation.
