This document details a UFO sighting report filed under Project 10073, occurring on August 22, 1955, in Cutlerville, Michigan. A civilian witness, identified as a 37-year-old truck driver for the City of Grand Rapids, reported observing an object with no definite shape, displaying green, red, and white lights. The witness described the object as appearing like the 'head of a pin' and reported that it climbed from an estimated altitude of 3,000 feet to 20,000 feet while moving in a northerly direction. In response to the report, three F-86D aircraft were scrambled for interception; however, the pilots were unable to make any sighting of the object. Capt. Kenneth H. Peterson of the 4671st GOC Squadron conducted an evaluation of the incident. He concluded that the object was likely the star Capella, noting its position in the northeast at 40 degrees azimuth and 15-20 degrees elevation. The report notes that two photographs of the object were taken by the witness. The document includes both a standard Project 10073 record card and a teletype message summarizing the event for military intelligence channels.
