Project 10073 Record Card — Rhinelander, Wisconsin, 9 April 1957

This document is a Project 10073 record card and associated teletype report detailing a UFO sighting that occurred on 9 April 1957 in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. The witness, a 37-year-old housewife, reported observing a single oval-shaped object in the sky for approximately 45 minutes. The object was described as white with red and green lights, appearing roughly the size of a star. The witness observed the object visually and through binoculars, noting that it was rising slowly in the south-southwest portion of the sky until it eventually faded from view. The weather conditions at the time were reported as clear with unlimited visibility. The report was processed by the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) and circulated to various military commands, including the 67th ACW Squadron in Antigo and the 37th Air Division at Truax Field. Following the investigation, the official conclusion reached by the authorities was that the sighting was likely caused by a star or planet flickering in the distance. The documentation includes the original record card, which summarizes the event, and the subsequent teletype communication that provided additional administrative details and confirmed the witness's identity and the nature of the observation.
