This document is a Project 10073 record card and associated military teletype report concerning an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed on November 10, 1955, at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. The witness, A/1C K. I. Kraszewski, a tower operator at Patterson Field, reported observing two stationary, round objects that appeared white and blue in color. The witness noted that the brightness of the objects fluctuated over a two-hour period. The report specifies that the objects were observed at 30 degrees elevation and 55 degrees azimuth, with clear weather conditions and visibility of seven miles.
