This document is a Project 10073 record card detailing a 1955 sighting of nine red, grapefruit-sized objects over Mojave, California. The report notes associated television interference and concludes the objects were possibly aircraft lights.
On 17 May 1955, at 0415Z, a sighting occurred over Mojave, California, involving nine round, red objects estimated to be the size of grapefruits. The objects were observed for approximately ten minutes by witnesses, including a local laborer and a businessman. The objects were reported to be moving in a level circle. During the observation, the witnesses reported electromagnetic interference that caused their television set to lose both voice and picture. The behavior of the objects was described as six fading out, one flaring, and the remaining two disappearing. The report was processed by the 752nd ACWRON and forwarded to higher commands, including the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC). The official conclusion reached by the organization was that the objects were possibly aircraft lights. The investigation was ultimately closed without further action, citing a delay in the receipt of the preliminary report and the belief that further investigation would not yield significant new information.
