Project 10073 Record — New Jersey Area Sighting, 4 January 1966

This document consists of a Project 10073 record and a supporting memo for the record, both dated 6 January 1966. The records detail a UFO sighting that occurred on 4 January 1966 in the New Jersey area at 2318 local time. A man and his sons reported observing a round, disc-like object flying at an altitude of approximately 200 feet above the ground, traveling at an estimated speed of 75 miles per hour. The duration of the observation was five minutes. Colonel Holcolm from New Jersey contacted the office to request a copy of Air Force Regulation 200-2 (AFR 200-2). During this interaction, the UFO report was provided to him. Sgt. Moody, who handled the communication, instructed the Colonel to advise future observers to report such incidents to their nearest Air Force base, specifically identifying McGuire Air Force Base as the appropriate point of contact. The official conclusion recorded for the incident is 'INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR EVALUATION,' with a note indicating that the case might be re-evaluated if further information is received from McGuire, and a preliminary observation that the object 'sounds like light A/C' (aircraft).
