Project 10073 Record Card — Columbus, Ohio, 5 March 1956

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated teletype report regarding an Unidentified Flying Object (UFOB) sighting that occurred on March 5, 1956, in Columbus, Ohio. The report details an observation made by a 16-year-old student who witnessed two round, yellow objects that remained stationary for approximately 15 minutes. The witness reported that the objects produced no sound and had no visible exhaust before eventually fading from sight. The observation was conducted using 7x50 binoculars. The teletype report, transmitted by the 64th AC&W Squadron in Bellefontaine, Ohio, to the Air Defense Command and the Air Technical Intelligence Center, provides additional context, noting that there were thunderstorms in the area at the time of the sighting. The official conclusion reached by the evaluating authorities was that the objects were not anomalous, but rather a reflection of ground-based beacon lights from a nearby airport, exacerbated by the prevailing weather conditions. The report follows the standard reporting format required by Air Force Regulation 200-2.
