This document file contains a Project 10073 record card and associated correspondence regarding a UFO sighting in Brooklyn, New York, in April 1962. A civilian witness reported observing an object in the evening sky that appeared to be L-shaped with an orange glow. The witness initially suspected the object might be a satellite, an aircraft, or a weather balloon, and contacted several organizations, including the Hayden Planetarium, the Air National Guard at Floyd Bennett Field, and the F.A.A., none of which could provide a definitive identification. The witness subsequently wrote to the National Space Administration and the Department of the Air Force. In a letter dated June 27, 1962, the witness informed Lt. Col. William J. Lookadoo of the Air Force Public Information Division that they had concluded the object was the planet Venus, noting its brightness and position relative to the moon. The Air Force record card confirms this conclusion, stating the object was identified as Venus by the witness. The file also includes a response from the Air Force, dated May 23, 1962, providing the witness with an investigation form and a Department of Defense fact sheet regarding UAP investigations.
Since the planet Venus is reportedly visible in the evening sky, we have come to the conclusion that the object must be it.
