PROJECT 10073 RECORD CARD - Over Pennsylvania, November 1957

This document consists of a Project 10073 Record Card documenting a sighting over Pennsylvania in November 1957. The report describes a single object observed by a civilian, characterized by bright lights changing from white to amber to red, with white on top and red on the bottom. The object was reported to be traveling at great speed in a southwest direction. The official conclusion recorded on the card is that the phenomenon was 'Probably Aurora Borealis.' The document includes supplementary pages from a publication discussing various auroral displays observed in September 1957, including accounts from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Des Moines, Iowa; and Vancouver, British Columbia. These accounts detail intense auroral activity, including red and white displays, and mention the use of photographic equipment by observers such as Walter A. Feibelman to document these events. The inclusion of these articles suggests that the Project 10073 record was filed in the context of widespread auroral activity reported during that period.
