Project 10073 Record Card — Great Barrington, Massachusetts, 27 Nov 60

This document is an Air Intelligence Information Report (IR-4-60) regarding an Unidentified Flying Object sighting in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, on November 27, 1960. The report, prepared by the Intelligence Division of the 99th Bomb Wing (SAC), details an incident occurring at 0220Z. The witness, whose name is redacted, was visiting the home of Horace Martin when he was alerted to the objects by a telephone call from an individual identified as 'Bucky' Woodard. The witness reported observing three objects: two that remained stationary for approximately 20 minutes and one that moved in a straight line from East to West for about 3 minutes. The objects were described as round, jagged like a pinwheel, and red in color, occasionally flashing bluish-green. The witness estimated their size as approximately three inches in diameter at arm's length. The moving object was noted to be less bright than the stationary ones. The observer explicitly stated that the objects did not interfere with his television reception. The investigation, conducted by 2/Lt. Peter R. Negronida, concluded that the sighting was likely a combination of astronomical phenomena and an aircraft. Specifically, the report suggests the two stationary objects were the stars Betelgeux (Alpha Orionis) and Rigel (Beta Orionis), while the third moving object was likely an aircraft. The disappearance of the objects was attributed to cloud cover moving between the witness and the stars. The report includes a Project 10073 record card, a supplement to AF Form 112, and a UFO analysis sheet. The investigator noted that the witness appeared earnest and consistent in his account. The document is marked as unclassified.
