PROJECT 10073 RECORD CARD — Zonguldak, Turkey, 28 Oct 55

This Project 10073 record card documents a sighting that occurred on October 28, 1955, in Zonguldak, Turkey. A civilian witness reported observing three objects over the water for a duration of 45 seconds. The objects were described as rectangular in shape with tapered ends, appearing similar to a sail or a cloud with sunlight reflecting off them. The witness noted that the objects did not form a specific formation and lacked tails or exhaust trails. No sound was reported. The first object was observed ascending slowly from a position 15 to 20 degrees below the horizon before disappearing to the North. The second and third objects were observed traveling in an arc of 14 degrees before disappearing to the Northeast. The official evaluation of the incident, recorded on the card, suggests that the sighting was likely an atmospheric phenomenon. Specifically, the investigator noted that because the objects were seen over water during a period of heavy overcast, the event could be attributed to an inversion-refraction phenomenon. The record card explicitly states that there is no case file associated with this report.
