Project 10073 Record Card — Sighting in Hague, New York, August 2, 1962

On August 2, 1962, a 15-year-old student observed two unidentified objects in the sky over Hague, New York. The witness, who was at Camp Arcady, reported the objects at 10:35 PM, noting they moved from overhead toward the horizon in approximately three and a half minutes. The witness described the objects as star-like, flickering, and silent, moving from the southwest to the northeast. One of the objects reportedly stopped and dipped before continuing its path. The witness initially suspected they were satellites, specifically referencing the Echo satellite, but noted that the duration of the sighting was too short for satellite transit. The witness submitted a formal report to NASA, which was subsequently forwarded to the Department of the Air Force. The Foreign Technology Division of the Air Force Systems Command requested further information from the witness, who provided a detailed questionnaire and sketches. The final evaluation by the Air Force concluded that the flight characteristics were consistent with aircraft, and the case was classified as an aircraft sighting.
