Project 10073 Record Cards and Related Correspondence — Bremerton, Washington, February 1956

This document contains a series of Project 10073 record cards and operational reports concerning two separate UFO sightings reported in Bremerton, Washington, in February 1956. The first incident, occurring on February 11, 1956, involved a single, round, sharply outlined object estimated to be three feet across. The witness reported the object traveling at approximately 600 mph in a straight line to the southwest, accompanied by a light blue streak upon acceleration. The duration of this sighting was ten seconds. The second incident, reported on February 21, 1956, involved a red object that appeared to flash erratically. The observer noted that the object initially appeared to come from the northeast, became stationary, and then appeared to move southeast, with the light occasionally extinguishing. In both instances, military investigators from the 25th Air Division and the 635th ACWRON concluded that the sightings were likely misidentifications of jet aircraft. The reports suggest that the observers were witnessing jet aircraft at low altitudes preparing to land or maneuvering. The investigators noted that the perceived stationary behavior of the objects was likely an optical effect caused by the aircraft turning relative to the observer's position, and that the light phenomena were consistent with navigation lights and afterburners. The documents include operational immediate messages sent between various Air Force commands, including the Air Defense Command and the Air Technical Intelligence Center, confirming that investigations were conducted and that no anomalous objects were identified.
