Project 10073 Record Card — St. Louis, Missouri, 7 April 1952

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated military teletype report regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon sighting in St. Louis, Missouri, on April 7, 1952. At approximately 1800 hours, two civilian witnesses observed a shiny, white object positioned far above the haze, opposite the sun. The witnesses observed the object for approximately five minutes before it faded away at a rapid rate of speed. The sky was reported as clear of all other objects at the time. A subsequent report included in the teletype describes a sighting by a civilian of an object as large or larger than a C-47 aircraft. This object was described as rectangular, approximately four times as long as it was wide, and was observed throwing off fluorescent light while moving. The military report confirms that no interception was attempted and that the names and addresses of the witnesses were held by the headquarters. The official conclusion recorded on the project card is that there was insufficient data for evaluation, noting a lack of investigation and no definitive conclusions regarding the nature of the objects. The document is marked as unclassified and includes standard declassification instructions.
