The incident involved a civilian couple who observed a stationary, greenish-red light for a duration of 10 to 15 minutes. The observation was made from a residence at 2208 Weldon East in Phoenix. The weather conditions at the time were reported as clear with a visibility of over 15 miles, a temperature of 84 degrees, and a dewpoint of 56 degrees. The teletype, sent from the Commanding Officer at Luke Air Force Base to various Air Force commands, including the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, confirms that the witnesses reported no sound associated with the object. The report explicitly notes that a U.S. weather balloon was released from the Phoenix Municipal Airport at 0200 hours, which is cited in the conclusions section of the record card as a potential explanation for the sighting, categorized as 'Poss. Balloon'. The documentation includes standard military routing information and administrative markings, indicating the processing of the report through Air Force intelligence channels.
