This document is a Project 10073 record card and subsequent military correspondence regarding a UFO sighting that occurred on July 6, 1954, near Fullerton, Nebraska. The report details an observation made by three children, who were interviewed by their older brother. The children reported seeing three distinct objects: one simple tube-shaped object, one cup-shaped object, and one tube-shaped object with humps. These objects were described as being black with white borders and approximately 100 feet long. The objects were observed traveling from the southwest to the northeast at an altitude comparable to a Piper Cub aircraft. One of the objects was noted to be rotating on a center axis in a counter-clockwise direction, while the cup-shaped object appeared to have a cable spanning its topside. The duration of the sighting was approximately four minutes. One observer reported hearing a sound resembling a large plane, while another observer reported seeing a four-engine plane in the area but heard no sound. The weather was described as partly cloudy with thundershowers, but with no wind or cloud movement. The military authorities at Lincoln AFB, who filed the report, noted that the children were considered truthful and not imaginative. However, the headquarters at ATIC stated that they did not feel qualified to render a proper evaluation of the nature of the objects based on the provided information.
From the apparent serious approach of the letter and questioning of the children and his belief in them it appears the children actually saw something.
