Project 10073 Record Card and Intelligence Report IR-136-56

This document contains two distinct reports regarding unidentified aerial phenomena. The first is a Project 10073 record card documenting a sighting on May 29, 1956, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. A civilian witness observed a single, silver, round object for two hours and five minutes. The object was described as being the size of a match head held at arm's length, moving from the south to the north at approximately 30 degrees elevation. Military aircraft were scrambled to investigate, but the results were negative. The official conclusion of the headquarters was that the sighting was likely caused by a balloon, citing the duration, course, and winds-aloft data (200 degrees, 25 knots). The second part of the document consists of Intelligence Report IR-136-56, which details a sighting reported by the crew of a ship near the Russian coast between Murmansk and Teriberka in the White Sea. According to a newspaper report from Troms dated May 26, 1956, the crew observed a 'flying saucer' that performed various maneuvers over the ship. The object was estimated to be twice the size of an average commercial airliner and was described as moving with incredible speed, appearing like a 'streak of lightning.' The crew noted that the object remained stationary for a time at an altitude of approximately 1,000 meters before disappearing. The Norwegian Intelligence Service was approached regarding this observation and stated they would conduct an investigation into the report's authenticity.
