Project 10073 Record Card and Related Correspondence — Savannah, Georgia, June 1954

This document collection contains records regarding an unidentified flying object sighting reported in Savannah, Georgia, on 21 June 1954. The primary record is a Project 10073 record card, which documents a civilian report of an object described as having a glass bottom with orange lights shining through it. The witness noted that the object moved at extremely high speeds and made no sound, appearing as a point of light at high altitude. The official conclusion reached by the Air Technical Intelligence Center was that the report contained insufficient data for a formal evaluation. The file also includes correspondence from the 6th OSI District Office at Robins Air Force Base, which forwarded the report to the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The documentation highlights the procedural requirements for handling such reports under AFR 124-1. Additionally, the file contains a separate, unrelated report from the 5th District Office of Special Investigations regarding a sighting in Cleveland, Ohio, on 22 June 1954. In that instance, a witness described a cigar-shaped object, the size of two houses, which emitted the odor of burning sulfur and moved with the speed of wind. The witness in the Savannah case reportedly used a format found in Major Donald E. Keyhoe's book, 'Flying Saucers from Outer Space,' to file her report. The documents are marked as unclassified and include instructions for downgrading and declassification, reflecting the administrative handling of UAP reports by the United States Air Force during the mid-1950s.
