Project 10073 Record Card — Jackson, Minnesota, 2 September 1962

This document is a Project 10073 record card detailing a civilian sighting of an unidentified aerial phenomenon that occurred on September 2, 1962, near Jackson, Minnesota. The witness reported observing an object in the sky north of Jackson, initially at an altitude of 50,000 feet. The object reportedly hovered for 5 minutes and 23 seconds before descending to 40,000 feet. It then moved south and descended further to 30,000 feet, where it remained for 6 minutes. Subsequently, the object descended to 15,000 feet and hovered for 10 minutes and 40 seconds. The witness noted that a cloud passed in front of the object, and at one point, it appeared that something on the object moved. Finally, the object rose straight up, joined two other objects, and departed from sight. The total duration of the observation was approximately 30 minutes. The official evaluation concluded that there was insufficient data to determine the nature of the object, noting that the report lacked specific timing, precise angular measurements, and sufficient positional information.
