Project 10073 Record Card — Suquamish, Washington, 2 September 1956

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated military teletype regarding an unidentified aerial object sighting reported on September 2, 1956, in Suquamish, Washington. The witness, identified as Corporal Valentino Kamai of the US Navy, reported observing a single white, round object that appeared to be the size of a dime held at arm's length. The object was observed to rise slowly and remained in sight for three hours and fifteen minutes. The report notes that the observation was made from the ground using optical aid. The teletype communication, dated September 22, 1956, provides additional technical details, including the observation time of 1028Z and weather conditions described as clear. The document includes a handwritten analysis on the third page, which correlates the sighting with wind directions and balloon launch times, though the final conclusion recorded on the official project card explicitly attributes the sighting to the planet Mars. The documentation includes standard military reporting formats, including references to AFIR 205-10 and internal control numbers.
