Project 10073 Record Card — Gulliver, Michigan, 6 July 1955

This document is a Project 10073 record card detailing an unidentified aerial phenomenon sighting that occurred on July 6, 1955, in Gulliver, Michigan. The report documents a sighting by two civilian witnesses, identified as a mother and daughter. The witnesses observed a single, oblong, silver object estimated to be fifteen feet in length. The object was observed for a duration of two minutes, during which it was seen moving east and ascending. The witnesses reported that the object lacked wings, markings, exhaust, or sound. The report explicitly notes that no photographs were taken and there was no radar contact. The official evaluation of the incident, provided by the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC), suggests that the object was likely a balloon. This conclusion is supported by the meteorological conditions at the time of the sighting, specifically that winds were blowing from the west, which matches the eastward trajectory of the observed object. The document includes a summary of the sighting, technical details regarding the observation, and a final assessment of the event as a probable balloon sighting. Additional teletype correspondence included in the file confirms the details of the sighting, noting the object was very clear and visible, and reiterates the possibility of it being a weather balloon.
