Project 10073 Record Card — Sighting of 11 February 1964, Brooklyn, New York

This document archive details a UFO sighting reported by a civilian in Brooklyn, New York, on the night of February 11, 1964. The witness, while walking home, observed eight white, oval-shaped objects traveling in a tight formation. The objects appeared to have substance, were approximately three-quarters the diameter of the moon, and were described as being slightly fuzzy around the edges, as if glowing. The witness reported that the objects moved in a straight line toward the Southeast and disappeared behind apartment buildings. The witness heard no sound and observed no engine noise. Following the event, the witness contacted the Air Force Information Service and subsequently submitted a formal letter and a sketch of the sighting to the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force. The Air Force Foreign Technology Division evaluated the report under Project 10073. Their assessment concluded that the data provided was too brief for a definitive evaluation. They suggested the objects might have been light reflections or a meteor (bolide), noting that while the objects lacked tails, a meteor could not be ruled out. The Air Force confirmed that no other reports of the sighting were received from the New York area at that time. Internal correspondence within the Air Force noted that the witness's drawing was reminiscent of the original Kenneth Arnold sighting, and there was interest in potentially following up with the witness for further information.
