Project 10073 Record Card — Sighting near Toledo, Ohio, 27 November 1957

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated military cable regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon reported on November 27, 1957. The incident involved an object observed by pilots from Eastern Air Lines (flight 774) and Northwest Airlines (flight 311). The witnesses reported that the object traveled from the vicinity of Toledo, Ohio, to Selfridge Air Force Base in Michigan within a one-minute timeframe. Based on this travel time, the speed of the object was estimated at 4800 knots. The observation lasted for approximately three minutes. Despite the duration of the sighting, the pilots were unable to provide specific details regarding the object's physical characteristics, such as its size, shape, or color. The weather conditions at the time were reported as having thin high clouds with good visibility. The official conclusion recorded on the card is that there was insufficient data for a formal evaluation. The documentation includes a military cable sent from the 30th Air Division to the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, as well as other military commands, documenting the report. Handwritten annotations on the record card and the cable reiterate the lack of descriptive information provided by the pilots and confirm the final assessment of insufficient data.
