Project 10073 Record Card — San Antonio, Texas, 7 September 1952

This document is a collection of reports and statements regarding an Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) sighting that occurred on 7 September 1952 in San Antonio, Texas. The primary record is a Project 10073 record card, supported by an Air Intelligence Information Report (AF Form 112) and individual witness statements. At approximately 2230 hours CST, witnesses observed a motionless, orange, bean-shaped object in the sky. The object was described as having an explosive-like appearance, with one witness comparing its size to a pea held at arm's length and another to a basketball. The duration of the sighting was estimated between 15 and 20 seconds, though some witnesses reported shorter durations. The object remained stationary before disappearing suddenly, as if a light had been extinguished. The weather was reported as having scattered clouds and almost no wind. The witnesses included a chemist and a Technical Sergeant. The report notes that the reliability of the witnesses was unknown and that no physical evidence or radar contact was associated with the event. The official conclusion on the record card is marked as 'Insufficient Data for Evaluation.' The documentation was forwarded by the San Antonio Air Materiel Area to the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in compliance with AF Letter 200-5.
