Project 10073 Record Cards — Glenwood, Iowa, October 9, 1955

This document contains two Project 10073 record cards and associated teletype reports regarding UFO sightings in Glenwood, Iowa, on October 9, 1955. The first report, filed at 0231Z, describes a single round object, estimated to be the size of a dime held at arm's length. The witness reported the object was red, appeared in the west, disappeared in the south, and exhibited movement to the right and left over a duration of 45 minutes. The second report, filed at 0455Z, describes a round, red and white object that made no sound and moved up and down. Both reports were processed by the 739th AC&W Squadron in Omaha, Nebraska, and forwarded to the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) and other Air Defense Command units. The official conclusion for both sightings was that there was insufficient data for a definitive evaluation, though the reports suggest the objects were likely balloons. The documentation includes teletype communications confirming the transmission of these reports between military units, including the 51st Air Division in St. Paul, Minnesota, and the Air Defense Command at Ent Air Force Base, Colorado.
