Project 10073 Record Card — Covington, Kentucky, 27 June 1954

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and a supporting military cable regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon reported on 27 June 1954. The record card documents a sighting in Covington, Kentucky, involving a single object described as a 'point of bright light' that exhibited fast, non-erratic movement for a duration of one minute. The witness was identified as a civilian, and the report explicitly states that there was no sound associated with the object. The record card concludes that the object was a 'Distant Aircraft.' A secondary document, a military cable (teletype) dated 28 June 1954, provides additional context, indicating that a report was received from a Mr. [illegible] in Norton, Kansas. This cable reports an unidentified object moving west at an altitude of 7,500 feet, described as having an orange color. The cable was transmitted from HQ USAF Washington D.C. to the Chief of ATIC at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, having been retransmitted from Lowry Air Force Base, Colorado. The record card contains a notation stating '(NO CASE IN FILE)', suggesting that despite the formal documentation, the incident was not maintained as a full case file within the project's archives.
