PROJECT 10073 RECORD CARD — Greensboro, North Carolina, 27 April 1956

On April 27, 1956, at approximately 9:20 P.M., two witnesses in Greensboro, North Carolina, observed three unidentified flying objects. The witnesses were located at the Country Club Apartments on the east side of North Elm Street. The first object was described as a brilliant silver, perfectly round object that darted diagonally across the sky without sound or a tail. The witness initially mistook it for a shooting star, but noted it was too large—approximately the size of a baseball—and lacked a trail. This object was visible for approximately three seconds before it vanished. Shortly thereafter, the witnesses observed two additional objects moving in parallel flight from the north to the southwest. These objects were described as copper-colored and elliptical in shape, appearing to be the size of a vanilla wafer or larger than a dollar. These two objects were observed for approximately five minutes. The witnesses noted that there were no red or green lights associated with these objects, which were assumed to be at a great altitude. The official Project 10073 record card categorizes the first sighting as a meteor, noting that the absence of a tail and the proximity of the object did not rule out a meteor. The second and third objects were evaluated as aircraft, with the report stating that their duration and flight path were consistent with this assessment.
