Project 10073 Record Card and Incident Report — Boise, Idaho, 23 September 1952

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and a formal field report regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed on 23 September 1952. At approximately 0200 hours, a commercial pilot flying a Flying Tiger aircraft (identified as A/C 984) reported sighting a strange, stationary light in the sky while flying southeast at an altitude of 12,000 feet. The pilot noted that the object was located off the nose of the aircraft at the 11 o'clock position. The object was described as a light that appeared to change color. In a separate entry, the report notes that Boise Radio also sighted an object on a bearing of 100 degrees from their station, describing it as moving from side to side and up and down. The official conclusion recorded on the Project 10073 card is that there was 'Insufficient Data for Evaluation.' The report was authored by Captain James S. Elliot of the 130th Air Base Wing at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, and addressed to the Director of Intelligence at Headquarters USAF, the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson AFB, and other relevant commands. The document includes a stamp indicating it was declassified.
