Project 10073 Record Card — Ann Arbor, Michigan, 6 Feb 59

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and a subsequent teletype message regarding a UFO sighting reported in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on February 6, 1959. A civilian observer reported seeing a single, round, red object, approximately the size of a baseball, which slightly resembled a star. The object was observed for twenty minutes, during which it was seen wavering back and forth rapidly without making significant headway, before moving instantaneously to the north-northwest. The observer viewed the object with the naked eye from the west side of Ann Arbor. The teletype message, sent on February 27, 1959, by Captain William I. Monroe, a senior controller, provides technical details of the sighting, including the object's description and the observer's location. The report notes that there were no aircraft in the area and no physical evidence was recovered. The official conclusion recorded on the project card states that checks indicated the object was the planet Mars, and that the reported motion was likely an effect of the atmosphere and the movement of the observer.
