PROJECT 10073 RECORD CARD — 30 NOVEMBER 1956

This document is a collection of reports and correspondence regarding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sightings occurring in November 1956. The primary record is a Project 10073 card and associated military message regarding a sighting on November 30, 1956, by a pilot and navigator of a C-119 aircraft (AF 37856) flying from Bermuda to Charleston AFB. The crew reported observing a dark, indefinite object at an altitude of approximately 100 feet over the water, maintaining a steady northwest course parallel to their own flight path for 10 minutes. The object left no wake and was estimated to be 10 miles away. The reporting officers expressed skepticism regarding the validity of the sighting, noting it was highly improbable for an aircraft to remain in sight for that duration. The document also includes various other reports from November 1956, including a widely publicized incident involving Captain W. J. Hull, a Capital Airlines pilot who reported a brilliant blue-white light near Mobile, Alabama, on November 14, 1956. Hull, a former skeptic, described the object performing maneuvers sharper than any known aircraft, including sudden 90-degree turns and vertical ascents. Other reports in the compilation detail sightings in New Rochelle, New York; Gary, Indiana; Dyersburg, Tennessee; Dallas, Texas; Pierre, South Dakota; and Cincinnati, Ohio. These reports vary in nature, with some being attributed to meteors, balloons, or searchlights, while others remain described as unidentified. The document serves as a compilation of civilian and military reports processed by the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) and the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP/CSI).
