Project 10073 Record Card - Caribou, Maine, 21 December 1955

This document is a Project 10073 record card and accompanying technical information sheets detailing a UFO sighting in Caribou, Maine, on December 21, 1955. The primary witness, a housewife, reported observing a round, gold-colored object at approximately 23:00 hours. She described the object as being roughly the size of a jet fighter, with a shape resembling a cup turned upside down on a saucer, or an egg/football. The witness noted that the object was extremely bright, comparable to the sun, yet not painful to look at. She observed the object for 6 to 8 minutes from inside her home. The witness reported that the object rotated and exhibited 'hurried movements' between the saucer and the top section, which she described as 'something alive.' She explicitly stated that she heard no sound. The witness also reported significant physiological effects, including nausea and a feeling that the object was 'reading her thoughts' or observing her with a 'telescope.' Her husband, referred to as Freddie, was briefly awakened and observed the object, initially mistaking it for the moon before returning to bed. The witness provided detailed sketches of the object's position relative to her home, barn, and the surrounding landscape. She expressed a strong conviction that the object was a 'space ship' and not of terrestrial origin. The report includes the witness's personal details, educational background, and a narrative account of the event, which she wrote in February 1956. The document was addressed to the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
