Project 10073 Record Card and Air Intelligence Information Report — Allen, Maryland, 12 September 1952

This document consists of a series of reports, including a Project 10073 Record Card and an Air Intelligence Information Report, detailing a sighting of an unconventional flying object on 12 September 1952. The sighting occurred at 0230Z in Allen, Maryland, and was reported by a Ground Observer Corps volunteer, David Kolb, and his wife. The witnesses observed the object for approximately 35 minutes through field glasses. They described the object as round with streamers, flashing a greenish-white light with a red rim, and moving in a northeasterly direction at an estimated altitude of 2,000 feet. Upon receiving the report, the 647th AC&W Squadron conducted a check of the area using all available electronic equipment, but no targets were detected. The report notes that while no aircraft were detected by electronic equipment at the station, low-level missions were being conducted in the 26th Air Division area at the time of the sighting. The weather conditions were reported as clear with ten miles of visibility. The final evaluation of the report is 'Insufficient Data for Evaluation,' with the investigator noting that the sighting did not coincide with regular balloon releases in the area. The documentation includes weather data, a worksheet, and the formal intelligence report submitted to the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
