Project 10073 Record Card and Correspondence — Kew Gardens, New York, November 1961

This document contains a Project 10073 record card and associated correspondence regarding a UFO sighting reported in Kew Gardens, New York, on November 26, 1961. The witness, a chemical engineering student at Queens College, reported observing an object with two bright lights in front at approximately 2300 hours. The witness described the object as initially white, then changing colors between blue and red, and noted that it hovered before moving from East to Northeast. The witness observed the object through a telescope and reported that it appeared to become 'hazy' or 'fuzzy' as it moved away. The witness also stated that two other individuals witnessed the event. The Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base evaluated the initial report and determined that it lacked sufficient information, subsequently sending questionnaires to the witness and witnesses for further detail. The final conclusion recorded on the project card suggests the object was likely a weather balloon, noting that both Air Force and civilian weather stations frequently launch balloons with lights at night in that region. The documentation includes the original letter from the witness, the completed Air Force technical information sheets, and internal Air Force correspondence regarding the handling of the report.
