TL;DR

A civilian in Richmond, Virginia, reported a round, red object in the sky on August 14, 1956. The Air Force documented the sighting under Project 10073 but concluded there was insufficient data for evaluation.

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated teletype message regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon reported on August 14, 1956, in Richmond, Virginia. The witness, identified as a civilian housewife, reported observing a single, round, red object that appeared to be the size of an orange. The observation lasted for approximately ten minutes. The teletype, sent by the 771st Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron (ACWRON) at Cape Charles Air Force Station, confirms the report was filed in accordance with Air Force Regulation 200-2. The teletype provides meteorological data for the area, noting clear skies and slight breezes. Despite the formal documentation, the record card concludes that there was insufficient data for a proper evaluation of the sighting. Handwritten notes on the teletype suggest that the information provided was inadequate for further investigation.
