Project 10073 Record Card and Related Press Reports

This document compiles records and press reports regarding an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sighting in Port Huron, Michigan, on November 12, 1963. Two St. Clair County deputy sheriffs, Robert Baker and Merle Clark, reported observing a mysterious object while on patrol. The object was described as a flickering light that hovered near an apple orchard before moving at high speeds, reaching up to 75 miles per hour. The deputies attempted to follow the object, which at times appeared to have a divided window and flashed red and white lights. The object eventually disappeared into the sky. The incident received significant local press coverage, with other witnesses also reporting similar sightings. Military authorities, including the commanding officer of Selfridge Air Force Base, denied that any military aircraft or helicopters were in the area at the time of the incident. The official Air Force record card for the event, filed under Project 10073, lists the conclusion as 'Insufficient Data.' The document also includes related press clippings, one of which discusses a separate astronomical event involving object 3C273, and another detailing the death of a local executive in a traffic accident, which appears unrelated to the UAP reports.
