Project 10073 Record Card — Cincinnati, Ohio, 26 November 1954

This document is a Project 10073 record card and accompanying U.S. Air Force Technical Information Sheets detailing a sighting that occurred on November 26, 1954, in Cincinnati, Ohio. The witness, a Chief Engineer at The American Tool Works Co., reported observing six objects for approximately 15 minutes. According to the witness, the objects were greyish-white in color and appeared to be 'playing' by darting under and over each other at speeds described as 'considerably faster than a jet.' The witness noted that the objects arrived from the north, approached the west, and then disappeared back toward the north. The witness estimated the objects to be approximately 30 feet in length and observed them at an elevation of 45 degrees from the horizon. The sky conditions were described as hazy with no wind. The witness, who was outdoors at the time, reported the incident to officials on December 16, 1954, and completed the questionnaire on January 3, 1955. In the section asking for his opinion on what the objects were, the witness speculated they were a 'Space Ship of some kind, possibly coming from another planet.' Despite the witness's detailed account of the objects' maneuvers and speed, the official Air Force evaluation recorded on the project card concluded that the sighting was a 'Possible flt of birds.'
