Project 10073 Record Card and Related Correspondence — Seattle, Washington, July 1955

This document contains a series of records and correspondence regarding a UFO sighting reported on July 18, 1955, in Seattle, Washington. The report, filed under Project 10073 and in accordance with AFR 200-2, details an observation made by a Boeing employee who was accompanied by four witnesses. The witnesses observed three white, star-shaped objects for approximately 30 minutes. The objects were described as moving up and down and side to side. The military investigation, conducted by the 635th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron at McChord Air Force Base, concluded that there was insufficient data for a definitive evaluation. However, the report notes that the objects could potentially be a cluster of balloons released by Sandpoint Naval Air Station, which were known to drift over the city and reflect city lights. The document includes a formal teletype message sent on July 22, 1955, from the Commander of the 635th ACW to the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, as well as index cards summarizing the incident. A separate, unrelated sighting of a single black object on July 21, 1955, is also briefly documented on an index card, which similarly concludes that there was a lack of sufficient data for evaluation.
