Project 10073 Record Cards and Related Teletype Reports — Seattle, Washington, August 1955

This document consists of two Project 10073 record cards and their corresponding teletype reports regarding unidentified aerial phenomena observed in Seattle, Washington, in August 1955. The first incident occurred on August 17, 1955, at 0515 GMT, involving a single, round, reddish-white object that exhibited a wavering motion while traveling from the southwest to the east. The observation lasted between two and three minutes. The second incident occurred on August 13, 1955, at 0442Z, involving a single, round, yellowish-white object observed through a telescope. The witness, identified as S/Sgt Litney Arthur, described the object as being the size of a match head held at arm's length and noted it followed a 'wobbley' course from north to south. Both reports were processed by the 635th ACWRON at McChord AFB and forwarded to the Air Technical Intelligence Center and Air Defense Command in accordance with AFR 200-2. In both instances, the official conclusion reached by the evaluating authorities was that while the objects were possibly aircraft, the lack of sufficient data in the original reports made a definitive evaluation impossible. The documents are standard military record cards (ATIC Form 329) used for tracking UAP sightings during this period.
