PROJECT 10073 RECORD CARD - Canton, Ohio - 27 March 1956

This document consists of a Project 10073 Record Card and an associated military teletype message regarding an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sighting in Canton, Ohio, on March 27, 1956. The sighting occurred at 1230Z and lasted for approximately two minutes. The witness, a Technical Sergeant from Detachment 6 of the 4671st Ground Observer Squadron, described the object as a single, round, yellow object with a silver tinge, appearing to be the size of a baseball held at arm's length. The object was observed at an estimated altitude of 2,000 to 5,000 feet and remained stationary throughout the observation. The witness noted that the same object had been observed previously in December 1954 and August 1955. Weather conditions were reported as clear, and no sound was associated with the object. The report was processed by George Wagasky Jr., an Operations and Intelligence Officer. Following the evaluation of the report, the official conclusion reached by the headquarters was that the object was possibly a balloon, citing the object's color, shape, and the fact that the sighting occurred during daylight hours.
