UFOB Index Card and Project 10073 Record Card — Cedar City, Utah, September 30, 1955

This document contains a collection of records related to Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) from September and October 1955. The primary entry is a UFOB Index Card and a Project 10073 Record Card detailing a sighting near Cedar City, Utah, on September 30, 1955. Four civilian witnesses reported observing a single, stationary, square, silver object, described as being the size of a grapefruit held at arm's length. Notably, two of the witnesses claimed to have engaged in a 'mental conversation' with the object, which allegedly stated it was from Jupiter and would return in two weeks. The official investigation concluded that the object was a meteorological balloon, specifically MDH balloon #81W, which was confirmed to be in the area at the time of the sighting. The document also includes a 'NO CASE (INFORMATION ONLY)' entry regarding a San Paulo physician who photographed a round object with a whitish trail of smoke off the coast of Santos, Brazil, in late September 1955. Additionally, the file contains a press clipping from the Watertown Daily Times dated November 10, 1955, which includes a letter from a local historian, Malcolm A. Booth, regarding a photograph he took of a flying saucer-like object over a bridge in Edwardsville, New York, on September 17, 1955. The final page provides a summary list of sightings reported in October 1955, categorizing various incidents across the United States and internationally by location, observer type, and evaluation, with many identified as balloons, aircraft, or astronomical phenomena.
