TL;DR

A civilian reported observing stationary, silver, submarine-shaped objects over Washington D.C. on May 14, 1956. The Air Technical Intelligence Center concluded there was insufficient data for analysis, noting a likely error in the reported time.

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated message regarding a UFO sighting reported in Washington, D.C., on May 14, 1956. The report, provided by a civilian source, describes a sighting of objects that appeared to be shaped like a submarine and were silver in color. The witness initially observed three objects, which later reduced to one. These objects were reported to have remained stationary for a duration of one hour. The official record indicates that the observation was visual only, with no radar contact or photographic evidence. The weather conditions at the time were reported as cloudy with scattered clouds at 14,000 feet. An official comment appended to the record card notes that the provided date and time group (14/1815Z) was likely erroneous, as the sighting occurred at night. Due to the lack of sufficient information, the official conclusion reached by the evaluating agency was that there was insufficient data for a formal analysis.
