Project 10073 Record Cards and Related Teletype Reports — Glenwood, Iowa, February 1956

This document consists of a series of Project 10073 record cards and associated teletype communications detailing two separate UFO sightings reported in Glenwood, Iowa, on February 3 and 4, 1956. The first incident, occurring at 2307Z on February 3, involved a civilian witness who observed two round, stacked objects, described as the size of a dime, moving south. The duty controller at the 789th AC&W Squadron in Omaha, Nebraska, assessed these objects as likely being aircraft. The second incident occurred shortly after at 0215Z on February 4. A civilian witness reported a single, large, flashing white object, described as the size of a half-dollar, which was also drifting south and exhibited fast-flashing reddish-green lights. The duration of the first sighting was three minutes, while the second lasted five minutes. The teletype reports, which formalize these sightings as UFOB Reports 74 and 75, include technical details such as the weather conditions, which were reported as clear and cold. Lt. Zar, the controller on duty, provided the final assessment for the second report, suggesting the object could have been a weather balloon or a slow-moving aircraft. The documentation reflects the standard military procedure for reporting and evaluating aerial phenomena during this period, emphasizing the role of the 789th AC&W Squadron in monitoring and identifying objects reported by civilians.
