Project 10073 Record Card and Correspondence Regarding Fireball Sightings

This document file contains a Project 10073 record card and subsequent correspondence regarding fireball sightings in Pennsylvania. The initial record card documents a sighting on November 27, 1963, at 6:05 PM, which was categorized as a meteor rather than a UFO. Following this, an individual from the Flower and Cook Observatory at the University of Pennsylvania wrote to the Department of the Air Force on December 12, 1963, requesting data on two brilliant fireballs observed over Pennsylvania on November 27 and December 7, 1963, to assist in computing their paths and orbits. Major Marion H. Jacks of the Air Force responded on December 16, 1963, stating that the Foreign Technology Division had not received reports on these specific phenomena at that time. The Major noted that if reports were received in the future, they would be forwarded to the observatory. Additionally, the Major mentioned that the Foreign Technology Division possessed reports regarding a fireball sighting in the Phoenix, Arizona area on November 17, 1963, and offered to share those if the observatory was interested.
