This document is a Project 10073 record card detailing a sighting that occurred on November 6, 1957, in Chilo, Ohio.

The duration of the sighting was recorded as seven minutes, and the objects were reportedly still in sight at the time the report was filed. The source of the information is identified as a civilian GOC (Ground Observer Corps) report. The official conclusion recorded on the card is skeptical of the report's validity. The evaluator suggests that the phenomenon was likely caused by birds.
