Project 10073 Record Card — Gurnie, Illinois, 8 April 1956

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated military correspondence regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon reported on April 8, 1956, in Gurnie, Illinois. The primary witness, identified as a garage attendant at the local Post Office, observed a single, round, basketball-sized object that appeared to be a faded orange color. The observation lasted between six and eight minutes. The military report, originating from the 755th AC&W Squadron at Williams Bay, Wisconsin, was transmitted to various Air Defense Command units and the Air Technical Intelligence Center. The report explicitly notes that no motion was observed and no flight path could be determined. Furthermore, there was no radar contact, and no photographic evidence was obtained. Due to the lack of positional data and the absence of reported movement, the official conclusion reached by the evaluating agency was that there was insufficient data for a formal evaluation. The document includes standard military reporting headers and references to Air Force regulations regarding UFO reporting procedures.
