PROJECT 10073 RECORD CARD — Hyde Park, Mass, 22 March 1962
AI-Generated Summary
A civilian reported observing three high-speed, maneuvering objects in Boston on March 22, 1962. The Air Force classified the incident as having insufficient data for evaluation and initiated a follow-up questionnaire.
This document consists of a Project 10073 record card, an office memorandum, and a formal correspondence regarding a UFO sighting reported by Mr. Alex B. Geddes on March 22, 1962. Mr. Geddes, while in an office building near the Cathedral in Boston, observed three round, silver-gray objects at a great height. He initially mistook them for seagulls, but upon closer observation, noted they were moving in sudden, high-speed darts and performing sharp, right-angled turns. The objects were observed for approximately two to three minutes before passing out of sight. The report was received via telephone by the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC). An office memorandum dated March 23, 1962, confirms the receipt of the account, noting that the witness was alone at the time and that his report sounded 'sensible and authentic.' Subsequently, Colonel Edward H. Wynn of the USAF issued a memorandum to Major Hart at SAFOI-3b, stating that because the initial letter provided insufficient data to form a conclusion, a questionnaire should be sent to the witness for further information. The record card confirms that as of the time of filing, the questionnaire had not yet been returned, and the case was categorized as having insufficient data for evaluation.
He noticed 3 objts above plane and vapor trail. At 1st he thought them to be sea gulls but then he saw they were definitely round, were moving in sudden darts at high speed and were making sharp right angled turns.
