Project 10073 Record Card — Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, 26 November 1953

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an accompanying teletype report detailing a UFO sighting that occurred on 26 November 1953 near Dover-Foxcroft, Maine. The incident involved two observers: a pilot in a Cessna 175 flying at 522 feet MSL and a second observer located on the ground at the Dover-Foxcroft Airport. Both witnesses reported seeing a round, white object that appeared larger than a star and remained stationary for approximately ninety seconds before fading out. The pilot noted the object was positioned horizontally in his field of view, while the ground observer reported it at the same azimuth and elevation. The report includes meteorological data indicating clear weather with good visibility. Despite the initial report being submitted through military channels to the Air Defense Command and other intelligence units, the final conclusion recorded on the card and in the teletype notes that the star Altair was in the exact position provided by the observers. The preparing officer from the 755th ACWRON noted that while they could find no other apparent explanation for the sighting, the celestial alignment matched the reported coordinates.
