Project 10073 Record Card — Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, 18 Oct 55

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated teletype reports detailing an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed on October 18, 1955, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The sighting was reported by a civilian doctor, Neil Sutherland, and a control tower operator at the RCAF Station Stevenson. The observers reported a single object that was impossible to define in shape but appeared to be the size of a matchhead. The object displayed flashing red, green, and orange lights, which changed patterns during the observation. The object was observed for one hour and fifteen minutes, moving in a northerly direction before disappearing over the horizon. The 916th ACWRON at Beausejour, Manitoba, filed the report in accordance with Air Force Regulation 200-2. An investigation was conducted, including an attempt to identify the object using an RCAF T-33 jet from RCAF Station Macdonald, which yielded negative results for identification. The weather conditions were reported as good, and there was no other unusual activity in the area at the time. The final conclusion recorded on the project card identifies the object as the star Arcturus, positioned at 310 degrees azimuth.
