Project 10073 Record Card — Meredith, New Hampshire, 10 July 1962

This document contains the official Project 10073 record card and supporting correspondence regarding a UFO sighting reported by a 14-year-old male in Meredith, New Hampshire, on July 10, 1962. The witness, an amateur astronomer, was preparing to observe Venus with a 45x telescope when he noticed an unidentified object in the sky. He described the object as gray-brown, solid, and shaped like a ball-pen with a reversed clip. The observation lasted approximately 30 to 40 seconds before the object disappeared behind trees. The witness's father also observed the object. The Air Force investigation concluded that the sighting was likely an aircraft viewed from an angle that created a deceptive silhouette, noting that the object's speed and performance characteristics were consistent with conventional aircraft. The witness provided detailed sketches and completed multiple technical information sheets, expressing uncertainty about the object's nature but noting that he had seen similar objects on previous occasions.
