Oval UFO Sighting in Gloucester 1963

Summary

In April 1963, a civilian in Gloucester, Massachusetts, reported seeing an oval-shaped object without wings or a tail, described as bright silver in color. The sighting was recorded under Project 10073, but crucial details like the duration of the observation or flight characteristics were missing. Investigators considered it possibly a balloon, but the case was ultimately deemed insufficient for evaluation until a detailed questionnaire was completed.

The observer's description was clear, but it lacked elements necessary to confirm the object's identity. Despite being asked to provide more information, no further response was received. This kind of case was common in the project's files, where many sightings remained unresolved due to incomplete data.
