Project 10073 Record Card — Morris, South Australia, 17 Jan 54

This document contains a Project 10073 record card detailing an unidentified aerial object sighting in Morris, South Australia, on January 17, 1954. The witness, identified as a commercial traveler, observed a black object for 15 minutes starting at 1810 hours. The object was initially stationary in the East at an elevation of 45 degrees, then moved West, then North, before appearing to drop. The witness described the object as looking like two saucers joined together by a span. The report explicitly states there is insufficient data for evaluation. Additional documentation included in the file provides context regarding the witness's interaction with public opinion; the witness was told by a member of the public that the object might have been a box-kite, but the witness remained adamant that it was not. The file also includes unrelated hydrographic bulletins from the North Atlantic and North Pacific regarding lunar eclipses observed by merchant marine vessels in January 1954, likely included for administrative or reference purposes.
