Project 10073 Record Card — Toledo, Ohio, 5 May 1964

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated correspondence regarding a UFO sighting in Toledo, Ohio, on May 5, 1964. A civilian witness reported observing an object that appeared to be a star, which then moved straight up and down for approximately 60 seconds. The witness described the object as white, red, and red-orange, noting that it disappeared after about five minutes. The sighting occurred between 9:45 PM and 9:50 PM. The official evaluation concluded that the object was likely a star or planet, suggesting that the witness's fixation on the object created an illusion of motion. The report notes that Capella was in the northwest at 20 degrees elevation and Venus was on or near the horizon at 300 degrees azimuth, with the duration and disappearance characteristics more closely aligning with Venus. The file also includes personal correspondence from the witness to Major Maston Jack at the Air Force Office of Information, Project Blue Book, in which the witness requests information on UFOs, Project Blue Book, and expresses a desire to interview Al Chop, whom the witness saw in a movie about unidentified flying objects.
