Project 10073 Record Card — Newark, Ohio, 21 August 1962

This document is a Project 10073 record card detailing a UFO sighting reported in Newark, Ohio, on August 21, 1962. The witness, a civilian, reported observing a single, steady, yellowish-white light traveling almost due North. The object was visible for approximately 30 seconds, moving at a speed of about 2 degrees per second before disappearing just above the horizon. The witness reported no sound, no trail, and no distinct shape other than a spot of light. The sighting was also observed by the witness's wife and two children. Following the report, the Air Force, specifically Colonel Edward L. Wynn, sent questionnaires to the witness to gather further information, but no reply was received. The official conclusion recorded on the card is that there was insufficient data for a formal evaluation. The investigators noted that the object could have been a high-flying jet or a satellite, specifically mentioning that the satellite 62A Iota 2 decayed on the date of the sighting. The file includes internal notes and correspondence regarding the follow-up process.
