Project 10073 Record Card — New York, NY, 14 December 1959

This document contains a Project 10073 record card and associated correspondence regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon sighting reported in New York, New York, on December 14, 1959. The witness reported observing a single, round, silvery object with a solid appearance for approximately two minutes and thirty seconds. The object was described as moving from the West to the Southwest. Following the initial report, the U.S. Air Force, through Major Lawrence J. Tacker of the Public Information Division, sent an Air Force Questionnaire to the witness on January 7, 1960, to gather more detailed information for analysis by the Aerospace Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The documentation indicates that the witness failed to complete the questionnaire or provide the necessary additional details, leaving many sections of the form blank. Consequently, the official conclusion recorded on the project card is that there was insufficient data for a valid evaluation or conclusion regarding the nature of the object.
