Project 10073 Record Card — Worthington, Pennsylvania

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated correspondence regarding two UFO sightings reported by a civilian in Worthington, Pennsylvania. The witness reported two separate incidents: one on March 15, 1959, and another on July 18, 1959. In the first sighting, the witness described a large, dish-shaped object, approximately 100 feet in diameter, which was reddish-blue in color and made no noise. The object was observed flying from south to north at about 50 mph at a 45-degree elevation. During the second sighting, the object was observed for ten minutes, traveling from east to northeast at 50 mph, before hovering directly overhead for three minutes and then resuming flight. The witness noted that they had read a book on UFOs, which prompted them to report the sightings, despite fearing ridicule from acquaintances. The Air Force, specifically the Aerospace Technical Intelligence Center, reviewed the report and determined that the information provided was insufficient for a valid conclusion. Major Lawrence J. Tacker of the Public Information Division responded to the witness on March 28, 1960, requesting that they complete an official Air Force questionnaire to facilitate further analysis and evaluation.
