Project 10073 Record Card — Chicago, Illinois, 14-15 May 1962

This document is a collection of records and reports concerning Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) from May 1962. The primary record is a Project 10073 Record Card detailing a sighting in Chicago, Illinois, on May 14-15, 1962. The witness, a civilian, described a round object the size of a golf ball at arm's length that was revolving and moving back and forth, up and down, over a five-hour period. The official conclusion for this specific case was that insufficient data was provided to allow for a fair evaluation. The document also includes a formal report from the 64th Troop Carrier Squadron at O'Hare International Airport, signed by Base Operations Officer Thomas A. Hilquist, which outlines the details of the Chicago sighting in accordance with AFR 200-2. Beyond the Chicago incident, the document contains several pages of press clippings and summaries of other sightings reported during May 1962. These include a 'green flash' over Cincinnati, Ohio, on May 3; a report from Newcastle, England, regarding a witness named John Carr; a sighting of three orange-glowing objects in Tokushima-Ken, Japan, on May 10; and reports of parachute-shaped objects near Hanscom Air Force Base in Lexington, Massachusetts, on May 12. The final page provides a tabular summary of sightings from May 16 to May 31, 1962, categorizing various events by location, observer type, and evaluation, ranging from 'Astro (METEOR)' to 'UNIDENTIFIED'.
