Project 10073 Record Card: Sighting at Green Bay Observatory, 5 November 1957

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated military teletype report regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed on November 5, 1957, at the Green Bay Observatory in Wisconsin. The witness, identified as David Nickols, reported seeing a single, small, oblong object that displayed red and green colors. The object was observed for approximately two minutes, during which time it was described as traveling very fast in a straight path. The weather conditions at the time of the sighting were reported as clear. Despite the observer's location at an observatory, the military evaluation concluded that the data provided was both insufficient and inconsistent, preventing any formal identification or conclusion regarding the nature of the object. Handwritten annotations on the document reflect frustration from the evaluators, questioning why observers at an observatory could not provide more detailed or useful observational information. The report was processed through the 755th ACWRON and directed to various intelligence and air defense commands, including the Director of Intelligence at Headquarters USAF.
