Project 10073 Record: Sighting near Randolf AFB, Texas

This document is a Project 10073 record detailing a sighting of unidentified aerial objects on 12 June 1952. The witness, a Captain from the Physiology Branch of the Aero Medical Lab at WADC, reported observing between 15 and 20 objects while at a drive-in theater near Randolf AFB, Texas. The observation lasted for 30 minutes, between 2100 and 2130 CST. The witness described the objects as bright bluish-white, approximately one-twentieth the size of a full moon, and three times as bright as Venus. Their movement was characterized as erratic, moving back and forth and up and down, with most tending to travel upward. One object was noted to perform a nearly perfect sine-wave motion. The witness reported that the objects would suddenly appear and disappear without gradually fading out. The weather conditions were reported as CAVU (Ceiling and Visibility Unlimited). The official conclusion recorded on the form is 'Possible : BIRDS'. Notably, the document contains a handwritten annotation on the second page suggesting a potential discrepancy in the date, stating 'Date of sighting - 21 May 52', which conflicts with the typed date of 12 June 1952. The report confirms that no photographs were taken and no physical evidence was recovered.
