Project 10073 Record Card and Message — Nellis AFB, Nevada, 23 Feb 54

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and a subsequent teletype message regarding a UFO sighting that occurred on February 23, 1954, at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. The report details the observation of two objects described as round or tubular, and grayish-silver or transparent gray in color. The objects were observed for approximately seven minutes, moving in an easterly direction at an altitude between 31,000 and 32,000 feet, with an estimated speed of 0.9 Mach. The observer, First Lieutenant Robert H. McIntosh of the 3597th Flying Training Squadron, noted that the objects exhibited no trails, sounds, or unusual features, and that the initial observation was prompted by reflections from the objects. An aircraft was scrambled to intercept the objects, but it was unable to close the distance. The official conclusion reached by the evaluating agency, ATIC, was that the objects were the planet Jupiter, which was positioned in the East at approximately 30 degrees elevation at the time of the sighting. The report was filed by Captain Curvin E. Miller Jr., an intelligence officer with the 3595th Flying Training Group, in compliance with Air Force Regulation 200-2.
