AI-Generated Summary

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and subsequent correspondence regarding a UFO sighting in Greenwich, Connecticut, on September 15, 1962. A civilian witness reported observing a large, bright, glowing object between 11:20 P.M. and 11:30 P.M. while parked near the Indian Harbor Yacht Club. The witness described the object as having three large lights—two in front and one in the rear—creating a triangular effect. The object initially moved westward, then executed a 90-degree turn to the south. The witness noted a faint sound similar to a high-altitude aircraft and observed a row of smaller red lights on the object's underside. The witness expressed concern that the object might be a secret aircraft and requested information on whether similar reports had been filed. In a follow-up letter dated September 24, 1962, Major C. R. Hart of the Department of the Air Force informed the witness that the provided data was insufficient for a sound evaluation and requested that the witness complete additional forms to be sent to Lt. Colonel Robert Friend at the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson AFB. The official conclusion recorded on the project card stated that the description and flight path of the object were consistent with those expected of a conventional aircraft.
It is the opinion of both myself and my friend that the object behaved so much unlike conventional aircraft, that it is doubtful whether the object was conceived anywhere on this planet.
