AI-Generated Summary
A pilot reported a bright, light green, smoke-trailing object over Northern Ontario on October 18, 1956. Military intelligence evaluated the sighting and officially concluded it was a meteor.
This document consists of a Project 10073 Record Card and associated military communications (CIRVIS reports) regarding an aerial sighting on October 18, 1956, over Northern Ontario, Canada. The report describes a single, round object that appeared as a flare and glowed with an intense light green color. The object left a trail of light green light surrounded by smoke while moving from east to west at a high rate of speed. The sighting was reported by a pilot. The official conclusion reached by the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) was that the object was an astronomical meteor. The evaluation noted that while the object's lateral movement and speed initially seemed to rule out a flare, the specific combination of the trail, color, speed, and description led investigators to conclude it was a meteor. The documentation includes internal military teletype messages relaying the report from the Loury Flight Service Center to the Air Defense Command and the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
