This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated teletype communications regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon reported on December 6, 1955. The incident involved a single object detected by radar from a Military Air Transport Service (MATS) aircraft, identified as MATS 45629 C54. The object was first observed over Marianna, Florida, at an altitude of 15,000 feet. Over the course of approximately five minutes, the object was observed climbing to an altitude of 30,000 feet while proceeding toward Montgomery, Alabama. The final report placed the object over Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama. The weather conditions at the time were reported as overcast with a 3,500-foot ceiling, 10/10 cloud cover, and 10 miles visibility. The report was filed by an operations officer named Golinsky at the Maxwell Flight Service Center.
