Project 10073 Record Card — Buffalo, New York, 5 November 1956

This document is a Project 10073 record card and associated teletype report detailing an unidentified aerial phenomenon sighting that occurred on 5 November 1956 in Buffalo, New York. The report describes two elliptical objects, estimated to be 15,000 feet in diameter, which exhibited a color range from orange to white. The objects were observed for approximately ten minutes, during which time they were seen moving away from each other and then back together, eventually moving in a northeast direction. The witness, 1st Lt. William E. Trisch, a Senior Director, reported the event. The official conclusion reached by the Air Technical Intelligence Center was that there was insufficient data for a proper evaluation. The investigating officer suggested that the sighting might have been caused by lights reflecting off fog or potentially by stars. The report notes that the weather conditions included fog and clear skies, and the observation was made while the witness was looking at the stars. The documentation includes standard military reporting formats, including a record card and a teletype message sent to the Air Defense Command and the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
