UFOB Index Card and Project 10073 Record Card — Trenton, New Jersey, August 1955

This document consists of two official record cards and a news clipping regarding a UFO sighting in Trenton, New Jersey, on August 31, 1955. The official record cards, identified as AISS-UFOB-296-55 and a Project 10073 Record Card, describe a single, round, amber object observed by civilian and military (GOC) sources. The object was estimated to be the size of a basketball held at arm's length and remained visible for approximately 15 minutes before fading out. The official conclusion reached by the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) was that the object was a 'possible balloon,' citing the duration of the sighting and the object's almost stationary course as evidence for this theory. The record cards explicitly state that there is 'no case in file.' Additionally, the document includes a news clipping titled 'UFO News Report' by Thomas M. Comella, which discusses a separate, allegedly conclusive color photograph of a UFO taken in late August 1955. This clipping claims the object appeared as a blue-white dot to the naked eye but revealed a disc-shape with a blue glow when magnified. The clipping includes a handwritten annotation indicating that intensive photo analysis by both ATIC and WADC laboratories was conducted on the subject matter.
