AI-Generated Summary
A civilian reported a stationary, red-orange, pencil-shaped object in Canton, Ohio, on 7 November 1956. The case was classified as having insufficient data for evaluation.
This document consists of two record cards, one titled 'PROJECT 10073 RECORD CARD' and the other 'UFOB INDEX CARD' (AISS-UFOB-446-56), detailing a sighting that occurred on 7 November 1956 in Canton, Ohio. The report describes a single red-orange, pencil-shaped object, estimated to be eight inches in length, which was observed by a civilian source associated with the Ground Observer Corps (GOC). The object was reported to be stationary in the sky for a duration of fifteen minutes. The witness stated that the object disappeared when the clouds changed direction. The observation was made visually, with no radar contact or photographic evidence reported. The official conclusion reached by the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) was that there was insufficient data to evaluate the sighting. The index card notes that because the initial report provided only scanty information, an ATIC Form 10 was sent to the source on 14 November 1956 to gather further details, with the intention that the final analysis would be included in a future Monthly UFOB Summary.
