This document consists of a Project 10073 Record Card and associated teletype communications regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon reported on August 23, 1955, near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. A civilian witness reported observing small, round objects that appeared to be red, white, and blue in color. The objects were described as traveling from the north to the south on a wobbly course. The witness estimated the size of the objects to be equivalent to a pea held at arm's length and noted that they appeared to be at a very high altitude. The observation lasted for approximately ten seconds before the objects disappeared into city lights. The report indicates that the witness was watching stars at the time of the sighting. Military units, including the 467th AISS and EADF, were involved in the processing of this report under the guidelines of AFR 200-2. The official conclusion reached by the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) was that the event was a possible meteor observation, though the report was ultimately classified as having insufficient data for a definitive evaluation due to a lack of coherency in the witness account.
