Project 10073 Record Card — Minneapolis, Minnesota, 30 August 1954

This document is a Project 10073 Record Card detailing an unidentified aerial sighting that occurred in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on August 30, 1954. The report indicates that a civilian witness observed five white or silver circular objects at approximately 0220Z. The objects were described as moving in a circular formation at an altitude of 13,000 feet, with no accompanying sound or exhaust trails. The duration of the observation was estimated to be between three and four minutes. The objects were noted to be at an elevation of 75 degrees before they disappeared. The report includes a teletype message (JEDNGR 22R) which provides additional technical details, noting the observation was made by a witness named Aufderheide. The military assessment, conducted under the auspices of the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC), ultimately determined that there was insufficient data to reach a definitive conclusion regarding the nature of the objects. The record card explicitly notes that information regarding the manner of the objects' disappearance was missing, contributing to the inconclusive evaluation.
