Summary

In April 1957, a security patrolman in Crane, Indiana, reported seeing two bright objects moving southwest. The witness described the sighting as lasting several minutes, with both objects clearly visible. Although other possibilities like balloons or astronomical phenomena were considered, the official conclusion pointed to an aircraft as the cause. No photographs were taken and no additional data was recorded, but the report concluded it was not a UFO case.

The report, part of Project 10073, was processed quickly and filed without further investigation. Despite the clear description from the witness, the lack of physical evidence or additional records limited the possibility of a deeper evaluation. This case reflects how many sightings of the time were resolved quickly without room for doubt or further inquiry.
