A 1955 sighting report from Storm Lake, Iowa, involving a stationary, multi-colored light. The military investigation concluded there was insufficient data to confirm the object's identity, suggesting it was possibly an astronomical body.
This document consists of a Project 10073 Record Card and associated teletype communications regarding a UFO sighting reported on September 29, 1955, in Storm Lake, Iowa. The report details an observation made by a witness, described as a reliable auto mechanic, who observed a single, stationary object for approximately 20 minutes. The object was described as having no definite shape and exhibiting alternating red and green colors, with no associated sound. The witness noted that the object eventually faded from view. The weather conditions at the time of the sighting were reported as crystal clear. The report was processed by the 759th AC&W Squadron and forwarded to various military commands, including the Air Defense Command at Ent AFB, Colorado, and the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC). The official conclusion reached by the evaluating agency was that the sighting was possibly an astronomical phenomenon, such as a star or planet. However, because the report lacked necessary positional data, the final determination was that there was insufficient data for a formal evaluation.
