Project 10073 Record Card and Teletype Report — Baltimore, Maryland, October 9, 1955

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated military teletype report regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed on October 9, 1955, in Baltimore, Maryland. The sighting occurred at approximately 1940 hours. The witness reported a single, bright white light that appeared to be the size of a star. The object traveled in a flat trajectory from west to east over the Coventry area of Baltimore. The observation lasted for approximately one minute, after which the object disappeared over the horizon. The witness noted that the object produced no noise and left no trail. The Baltimore Filter Center was contacted and reported no knowledge of the object. Weather conditions at the time were favorable, with clear skies, 20-mile visibility, and light winds from the west-southwest at 6 knots. The temperature was recorded at 57 degrees Fahrenheit. The official conclusion recorded on the project card suggests the object was a 'Possible a/c' (aircraft). The teletype was transmitted by the Commander of the Air Research and Development Command (ARDC) in Baltimore to various military commands, including the Air Defense Command at Ent Air Force Base, the 26th Air Division, the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC), and the Office of the Inspector General at McGuire Air Force Base.
