Summary

In 1954, a high flying object was reported near Norwich, Connecticut. The sighting was made from the ground, with reports on two dates, the 20th at about 2100 Zulu and the 29th at about 0015 Zulu. The report was filed under Project 10073, the Air Force's official record for unidentified flying object reports.
