Project 10073 Record Card — Canton, Ohio, 7 May 1957

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated teletype report regarding an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sighting that occurred on May 7, 1957, in Canton, Ohio. A civilian witness reported observing a single, oval-shaped object measuring approximately 12 inches by 8 inches. The object was described as having a very shiny silver appearance and was observed for a duration of 10 minutes. The witness noted that the object was orbiting at an altitude of 2 angels and produced no sound. The distance of the object was estimated to be between 5 and 8 miles. The report was processed by the 662nd Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron (ACWRON) at Brookfield, Ohio, and forwarded to the Air Defense Command (ADC) at Ent Air Force Base, Colorado, as well as other intelligence units. The investigation, conducted by 2nd Lt. William H. Schreiner, concluded that the object was likely an aircraft. This determination was based on the observation that the object was orbiting and the fact that there were several small airfields located to the north of Akron, Ohio, within the vicinity of the sighting. The weather conditions at the time were reported as clear and excellent. No photographs were taken, and there was no radar contact associated with the event.
