Project 10073 Record Card — Los Angeles, California, 4 September 1955

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated military teletype message regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon reported on September 4, 1955, in Los Angeles, California. The sighting was reported by an individual at a forestry lookout. The witness described observing a stationary, white light or beam that eventually faded out of sight. The report notes that the object was observed moving north. The military report, originating from the 669th ACWRON, confirms the details of the sighting and notes that the reporting individual believed the object to be an aircraft. However, the official conclusion reached by the Air Technical Intelligence Center was that there was insufficient data to evaluate the sighting properly. The documentation includes standard military reporting formats, including a teletype transmission sent on September 6, 1955, to the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and the Director of Intelligence at Headquarters USAF in Washington, D.C. The report explicitly states that no photographs were taken and that there was no radar contact associated with the event. The weather conditions at the time were reported as clear.
