Project 10073 Record Card — Orangeville, Maryland, 2 March 1954

This document is a Project 10073 record card and associated military teletype reports concerning an unidentified aerial phenomenon sighting on 2 March 1954 in Orangeville, Maryland. The primary witness, identified as a retired Colonel and the Civil Defence Director of Baltimore, reported observing three round, bright white objects that were hovering and pulsing. The witness noted that the objects produced no sound and lacked any visible tail or exhaust. The observation lasted for approximately 15 minutes and was conducted using both the naked eye and binoculars. The report indicates that the sky was clear at the time of the sighting. The military investigation, handled by the 647th AC & W Squadron in Manassas, Virginia, and reviewed by the Air Technical Intelligence Center, ultimately determined that there was insufficient data to definitively identify the objects. The investigating officer, Lt. George Raynovich, suggested that the objects observed in the center of Baltimore might have been light reflections from the city itself. The documentation includes standard military reporting formats, including descriptions of the object's appearance, the nature of the observation, and the observer's credentials. The report concludes with the official assessment that the cause remains unknown, despite the suggestion of light reflection.
