Project 10073 Record Card — Lincoln Park, Michigan, 10 & 21 September 1960

This document details a UFO sighting report filed by a resident of Lincoln Park, Michigan, in September 1960. The witness reported observing a blue and white light that moved rapidly, shifted positions, and appeared to emit a light exhaust, which the witness described as an 'electron beam.' The witness, who identified himself as a student of 'saucers' with an interest in electrical propulsion, claimed to have taken photographs of the object using a Kodak camera. However, upon investigation by the Air Force, the roll of film submitted by the witness was found to be unexposed, containing only images of a car engine, a garage, and houses. The witness also claimed to have seen other objects previously, including one near Kansas and another near Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 1952. The Air Force requested additional technical information regarding the camera settings and the exact direction of the sighting to facilitate an evaluation. Ultimately, the official conclusion recorded on the Project 10073 record card was that there was 'insufficient data' to identify the object. The document includes correspondence from the Department of the Air Force to the witness, acknowledging the report and requesting the original negatives and technical details. The witness's own narrative, provided in the summary data sheet, reflects a belief that the object was a 'saucer' described in the Bible or from another planet. The file also notes that slides related to the case were retained in the custody of the Audio-Visual Division.
