Project 10073 Record Card and Correspondence — East Point, Georgia, 10 May 1954

This document details a sighting of three unidentified flying objects over East Point, Georgia, on 10 May 1954. The report, processed under Project 10073, originated from an interview with a witness who was identified as a former B-36 gunner and weather observer. The witness described the objects as round, approximately 20 feet in diameter, with a thick center and tapering edges. They appeared shiny, produced no sound or vapor trails, and were observed flying in a V formation at an estimated altitude of 4,000 feet and a speed of 500-600 MPH. The witness, who was noted by investigators as being highly reliable, stated that he had never seen any aircraft that resembled these objects. The sighting occurred on a bright, clear day, and the objects were observed traveling from the northeast to the southwest. The report notes that cargo-type aircraft were in the vicinity at the time, passing under the objects as they flew over the Atlanta Municipal Airport. Despite the witness's detailed account, the official conclusion reached by the investigating authorities was that the event was a 'probable a/c sighting.' Efforts to corroborate the sighting with radar data from the Atlanta area were unsuccessful, as no records of the objects were found. The documentation includes a Project 10073 record card and subsequent correspondence between the 6th District Office of Special Investigations at Robins Air Force Base and the Commander of Dobbins Air Force Base, confirming the report was handled in accordance with Air Force Regulation 200-2 and AFL 200-5.
