Project 10073 Record Card — Boundbrook, New Jersey, 25 November 1959

This document contains the records of a UFO sighting reported by a 12-year-old witness in Boundbrook, New Jersey, on November 25, 1959. The witness initially wrote a letter to President Dwight D. Eisenhower describing a red-orange object, similar in size to a star, which was observed moving at a high rate of speed from the southeast to the northwest. The letter was forwarded to the Department of the Air Force for a response. The Air Force, through the Office of Legislative Liaison, directed the witness to complete a formal technical information sheet for the Aerospace Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The witness provided details on the sighting, including sketches and a narrative description, noting that the object was observed for approximately two minutes while they were walking their dog. The Air Force analysis of the report concluded that there was insufficient information to reach a definitive conclusion, primarily because there was only one witness. However, the official evaluation noted that the object was likely a high-flying jet aircraft. The file includes the original correspondence, the completed technical information sheets, and internal Air Force routing memoranda.
