Project 10073 Record Card — Brookville, Long Island, New York, 4 July 1960

This document contains a Project 10073 record card and associated correspondence regarding a UFO sighting reported by a civilian in Brookville, Long Island, New York, on July 4, 1960. The witness, a 35-year-old disabled veteran, reported observing three distinct, circular, pearly-platinum objects moving noiselessly across the sky at approximately 8:15 P.M. The witness stated that the objects maintained a constant formation for about 1.5 to 2 minutes, after which one object changed course while the others continued on their original path. The witness described the objects as having fuzzy edges and, according to his wife, appeared to have whirling rings around them. The witness estimated their speed at 1.5 times that of a fighter plane. The Air Force, specifically the Aerospace Technical Intelligence Center, initially found the report contained insufficient information for a valid conclusion and requested that the witness and his neighbor complete formal questionnaires. The final official conclusion recorded on the project card was that the objects were likely high-flying aircraft, with the witness's speed estimates deemed inaccurate. The file includes the original correspondence, the completed technical information sheets, and sketches provided by the witness detailing the objects' formation and movement.
