This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated internal correspondence regarding a civilian sighting of an unidentified aerial object near Petoskey, Michigan, on January 8, 1958. The witness reported observing a single, round object that changed colors in the sequence of green, red, orange, and white. The object was observed for approximately three minutes, moving from the northeast to the southwest. The official evaluation, conducted by the Air Technical Intelligence Center, concluded that the object was likely an aircraft. This conclusion was supported by a subsequent check which revealed that the observer was located directly under airway route Blue 3, which follows a northeast to southwest path. The investigator, Lt. Frank H. Dubois, noted that there was no physical evidence available and that no air traffic was reported in the area at the time of the sighting. The final assessment suggests the observer likely witnessed an aircraft on a southwest heading with its navigation lights flashing.
