Project 10073 Record Cards and Correspondence — Chicago, Illinois, June 1963

This document contains Project 10073 record cards and associated correspondence regarding two separate UFO sightings reported in Chicago, Illinois, in June 1963. The primary report concerns a 13-year-old witness who observed 20 or more black, dot-like objects crossing the moon on 14 June 1963. The witness, who was using a telescope, reported the objects moved across the moon four times over a five-minute period. The witness contacted the Adler Planetarium, which suggested the objects were likely atmospheric conditions or debris. A second report, dated 23 June 1963, describes a single round, silver object flying from North to West. This report was submitted by the 64th Troop Carrier Squadron. The Air Force evaluation for the first case concluded the objects were likely atmospheric, while the second case was marked as insufficient data, noting that the report was incomplete and the timing was inconsistent. The document includes the original Air Force technical information questionnaire completed by the young witness, who provided detailed sketches and personal information, including his interest in astronomy and his use of a telescope.
