Project 10073 Record Card and Correspondence — Middleboro, Massachusetts, 1964

This document contains a collection of records regarding a UFO sighting reported by a 15-year-old amateur astronomer from Middleboro, Massachusetts. The primary record is a Project 10073 Record Card detailing a sighting on 1 March 1964, which lasted one hour and 41 minutes. The witness described seeing one or more objects with erratic motions, which he compared to the shape of a Liberty Bell, featuring rotating red, green, and amber lights. The witness, who identified himself as an amateur astronomer, provided detailed technical information, including angular size estimates and descriptions of the object's maneuvers. The Air Force evaluated the report as a misinterpretation of conventional objects. The file also includes correspondence between the witness and the Air Force, in which the witness requested official publications such as JANAP 146 and AFR 200-2. The Air Force responded by providing a fact sheet and a summary of the Socorro, New Mexico sighting, while noting that no photographs of UFOs were available for distribution. A separate internal memorandum from the Air Force evaluates the witness's reports, noting that a second sighting on 5 June 1964 was likely composed of meteors. The documentation reflects the administrative process of the Air Force's Project Blue Book in handling civilian inquiries and reports during the mid-1960s.
