PROJECT 10073 RECORD - Baltimore, Md. - 4 Apr 64

This document details a sighting report filed by a resident of Baltimore, Maryland, who claimed to have observed multiple 'flying saucers' and 'space ships' on their television screen during the early morning hours of April 7, 1964. The witness, employed as a timekeeper at the Sheraton Belvedere Hotel, reported that while watching the Johnny Carson show, they turned the tuning dial off the channel code and observed strange patterns on the screen. The witness provided hand-drawn diagrams illustrating what they described as 'metal lustre' space crafts and a 'mother space ship carrier.' The official Air Force evaluation, documented under Project 10073, concluded that the phenomenon was caused by electronic interference, likely from electrical motors in the witness's neighborhood. The Air Force response, signed by Major Maston M. Jacks on May 19, 1964, informed the witness that there was no way to judge exactly what the objects were, but that the patterns were likely the result of interference and the witness's imagination. An Air Force Fact Sheet on Unidentified Flying Objects was enclosed with the response.
