Project 10073 Record Card — Malden, Massachusetts, 7 July 1962

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated report forms detailing an unidentified aerial phenomenon sighting in Malden, Massachusetts, on July 7, 1962. The report describes an oval-shaped object with one bright light that was observed moving up and down and performing a zig-zag motion. The witness, a civilian, reported the sighting lasted approximately two minutes before the object disappeared. A second report mentioned an orange circular object that also disappeared after two minutes. The investigating officer, identified as Paul, noted that the report was received via the Boston Flight Service. Upon investigation, the officer checked with the local tower and confirmed that conditions were dark in the direction of the reported sighting. Due to the absence of specific elevation or azimuth data, the official conclusion was that the event could not be evaluated, and it was classified as having insufficient data, with a suggestion that it might have been an astronomical or balloon sighting.
