Project 10073 Record Card — Fort Wayne, Indiana, 7 February 1955

This document is a Project 10073 record card and associated U.S. Air Force Technical Information Sheets detailing an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sighting reported on 7 February 1955. The incident occurred near Fort Wayne, Indiana, and was observed by the crew of American Airlines Flight 266. According to the report, five objects were sighted in the air due north at 1955 CST. The objects were described as appearing like stars, initially remaining stationary before speeding up and rushing away. The objects were estimated to be at an altitude of 30,000 to 40,000 feet in the vicinity of Goshen, near Airway Green 3. The report was relayed to the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) by T/Sgt Tubaugh of the Patterson Military Flight Service Center, who had received the information from the Chicago Air Route Traffic Control Center. Follow-up checks conducted by T/Sgt Tubaugh confirmed that there were no other aircraft groups in the area, although two single aircraft were noted passing over Fort Wayne. The official conclusion recorded on the card is that the objects were 'possibly reflections.' The documentation includes the original record card, a summary data sheet, and a questionnaire completed by the reporting officer, Harry T. [illegible], who served as the ATIC Duty Officer. The witness report emphasizes the stationary nature of the objects and their subsequent rapid departure, though no specific speed or size estimates were provided by the observers.
