Project 10073 Record Cards and Correspondence — Warner, New Hampshire, August 1963

This document collection contains multiple Project 10073 record cards and related correspondence concerning a series of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sightings reported in Warner, New Hampshire, in August 1963. The primary witness, a 13-year-old male, reported observing cigar-shaped objects with lights on each end on consecutive nights. The reports describe the objects as moving in varied directions, sometimes without sound, and in one instance, appearing to outpace a jet aircraft. The witness also claimed to have attempted color movie photography of the objects. The Foreign Technology Division (FTD) of the Air Force Systems Command actively investigated these reports, with Major C.A. Smith conducting interviews and collecting information. The official conclusions recorded on the cards vary by incident, attributing some sightings to a meteor shower, the star Arcturus, or conventional aircraft. Correspondence between FTD personnel, including Lt. Col. Robert J. Friend and 2nd Lt. Robert A. Callanan, indicates that the Air Force requested the negatives of the photographs taken by the witness for analysis. The documents reflect a process of gathering witness testimony, including from the witness's mother, and attempting to reconcile the reports with known astronomical and aeronautical phenomena.
