Project 10073 Record Card — Carrollton, Ohio, 2 August 1956

This document consists of a Project 10073 Record Card and associated military message traffic regarding a UFO sighting in Carrollton, Ohio, on 2 August 1956. The primary report describes a cigar-shaped object, estimated to be 150 feet in length, which was observed for twenty minutes. The witnesses, identified as a civilian couple who were not GOC observers but were noted as amateur astronomers, reported that the object was silver in color, changing to blue with a glowing red fringe. The object reportedly moved in a variable manner, both up and down and back and forth, while maintaining a heading in a northwesterly direction at an altitude between 2,000 and 3,000 feet. A humming sound was also noted. The witnesses claimed the object had been observed in the area for the two days prior to the report. The sighting was formally processed through military intelligence channels, specifically involving the 662nd ACWRON at Brookfield Air Force Station and the 4602d AISS. The investigation was initiated in accordance with Air Force Regulation 200-2, with the case assigned to Flight 3-B of the 4602d AISS for further inquiry. The official conclusion recorded on the project card is 'Insufficient Data for Evaluation.' The documentation includes internal military communications confirming the assignment of the investigation and the request for an AF Form 112 report to be forwarded upon completion.
