PROJECT 10073 RECORD CARD - 25 Jul 55

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated teletype message regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon reported on July 25, 1955. The sighting occurred 20 miles northwest of Minneapolis, Minnesota, at approximately 0145Z on July 26, 1955. The witness, identified only as a civilian, reported observing a single, round object that appeared as a red glare, which the witness compared to a light bulb. The object was observed to be hovering in the northwest. The teletype communication, directed to the 31st Air Division at St. Paul, Minnesota, and the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, notes that a cloud passed in front of the object, but the observer was still able to see it. The report explicitly states that the object was hovering. The official conclusion recorded on the project card is that there was insufficient data for evaluation. No photographic evidence was obtained, and there was no radar contact associated with the sighting. The documentation reflects the standard administrative process for reporting and evaluating UAP sightings during this period, involving coordination between regional air divisions and the central intelligence agency at Wright-Patterson.
