This document is a Project 10073 Record Card detailing a sighting that occurred on March 22, 1956, in Cleveland, Ohio. The report describes a single, round, white object observed for approximately 15 minutes. The witness estimated the object to be the size of a pinhead held at arm's length, traveling at a speed of 40-50 knots in a westerly direction. The observation was classified as a ground-visual sighting reported by the Civilian and Air Force Ground Observer Corps (GOC). The official evaluation suggests that the sighting was likely a misidentification of the planet Jupiter or the star Procyon. The report explicitly notes that the duration of the sighting is inconsistent with the altitude and speed estimates provided by the observers, and characterizes the preliminary report as 'very garbled.' The file includes teletype communications referencing personnel such as Tech Sgt. Stanley E. Tullet and an individual named Lacasky J. associated with operations and intelligence. The document serves as a record of the military's attempt to reconcile observer reports with astronomical phenomena.
The duration of the sighting does not substantiate the altitude and the estimated speed of the object in the observers' descriptions.
