Project 10073 Record Card — Marlboro, N.J., 19 February 1960

This document consists of a Project 10073 Record Card and associated teletype reports detailing an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sighting that occurred on February 19, 1960, near Marlboro, New Jersey. The sighting was reported by two individuals, a housewife and a doctor from a state hospital in Malmouth, New Jersey. The witnesses described observing a single, round, greenish-white object with a red tail, which they estimated to be the size of a large street light. The object was reported to be moving slowly in a westward direction near the ground. The report includes technical data regarding the observation, noting that it was a ground-visual sighting made with the naked eye. The incident was reported to Base Operations and subsequently processed through military intelligence channels, including the Air Technical Intelligence Center. The official evaluation of the sighting concluded that there was insufficient information to make a definitive determination regarding the nature of the object. Investigators noted that the object was immediately ruled out as a balloon due to the prevailing wind conditions, and while it was considered as a possible aircraft, the lack of further data prevented a conclusive identification. The report includes administrative details, such as the involvement of Lt/Col David C. Baato of Fort Monmouth and Captain Rexford Baldwin, the Airdrome Officer on duty at the time. The documentation serves as a standard record of a UAP report processed under the Air Force's intelligence procedures of the era.
