Project 10073 Record Card — 20 March 1956

This document is a Project 10073 Record Card detailing an unidentified aerial phenomenon sighting that occurred on March 20, 1956, at 0145Z. The witness, an Air Force First Lieutenant, reported observing a single object seven miles northeast of Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. The object was described as a white, fluorescent-like light with a shape that was not discernible. The witness estimated the size of the object to be equivalent to a pea held at arm's length. During the approximately 30-second observation, the light was observed to fade and then increase in intensity at regular intervals, though it did not blink. The object was positioned below the observer's aircraft and was seen to climb and turn to the right. The speed of the object was estimated at 700 knots. The flight path was noted as ascending with a right turn or hovering behavior. The record indicates that no photographs were taken and there was no radar contact. The final conclusion recorded on the card is that the sighting was a 'Possible reflection.' A note at the bottom of the card states that there is no further report in the file.
