This document is a collection of records regarding a UFO sighting reported on November 21, 1952, in Redwing, Wisconsin. The report, filed under Project 10073, details an observation made by a civilian witness who reported seeing a white, arc-shaped object that was flashing on and off before disappearing instantly. The duration of the sighting was estimated to be between 20 and 30 minutes. The report was processed by the 674th AC&W Squadron based in Osceola, Wisconsin, and forwarded to the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Major Leland J. Lannoye conducted a preliminary interview via telephone with the witness. The official conclusion reached by the investigators was that the blinking and the long duration of the observation were characteristic of a star, effectively dismissing the sighting as an astronomical phenomenon. The documentation includes the original Project 10073 record card, the formal Air Intelligence Information Report (AF Form 112), and various internal military correspondence forwarding the report through the chain of command, including the 31st Air Division and the Central Air Defense Force. The report notes that the post observer left at 220200Z, and that the Air Defense Control Center (ADCC) intended to contact the Post Supervisor for further information, though the final assessment remained that the object was likely astronomical in nature.
