Project 10073 Record — Assonet, Mass. — 30 July 1959

This document contains a Project 10073 sighting report from 30 July 1959, concerning a civilian witness in Assonet, Massachusetts. The witness, who possessed over 500 hours of flight experience, reported observing a moon-sized object in the northeast that traveled southward toward his position. The object was initially yellow-white but changed to a dull red. The witness reported that the object stopped directly over him while he hid under an overpass. He described a steady humming sound and noted a physical sensation of 'pins and needles' or tingling along his spine during the event. The official conclusion for this incident was 'INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR EVALUATION' because the report was filed significantly after the event occurred. The document also includes various unrelated clippings from the June 20, 1959, issue of Science News Letter, covering topics such as invisible auroras, gene mutation research, a large ball bearing for the Nike-Zeus radar system, and medical recommendations for polio boosters. Additionally, the file contains brief, separate 'Information Only' summaries of other reported UFO sightings from July 1959 in Denmark, Indiana, England, and New Jersey, as well as a summary table of August 1959 sightings.
