This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated teletype communications regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon reported on 6 November 1957 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The sighting involved a single, round, red object that appeared larger than a star and was observed by military personnel from the 61st Group. The object was described as being fairly low on the horizon and remained visible for approximately five to eight minutes before fading. The report indicates that the observation was made with the naked eye under clear, calm weather conditions with visibility of 15 miles. No radar contact was made, and no physical evidence was recovered. The official conclusion reached by the evaluating agency, ATIC, was that there was insufficient information for a proper evaluation. Furthermore, the investigating officer provided a handwritten note suggesting that the observer was likely influenced by the significant media coverage surrounding the 'Levelland case' at the time, noting that the report contained several inconsistencies.
