Project 10073 Record Card and Associated Correspondence — Robins AFB, Georgia, 17 September 1952

This document details a Project 10073 sighting report from Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, occurring on 17 September 1952 at 0030 hours. Two unidentified objects were observed by eight or more people within a three-mile radius of the base. The witnesses, including an Air Force bombardier and an Air Force pilot, described the objects as white lights with a distinct yellow cast, appearing larger than a large star. The objects were initially observed on an east-to-west course at an estimated altitude of 5,000 feet, before changing direction to a south-southwest course. The observation lasted for approximately 20 minutes, during which one observer utilized field glasses. The objects eventually disappeared, potentially obscured by distance or scud clouds. The report explicitly notes that no sound was heard and that no physical evidence exists. Weather conditions at the time were reported as clear with 15 miles of visibility and calm surface winds. A subsequent check with the local weather station confirmed that no balloon runs were conducted on the date of the sighting. The report concludes that no meteorological or other known activity could account for the observation. The document includes internal military correspondence between Robins AFB and the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson AFB, confirming the details of the sighting and the lack of balloon activity. The report was coordinated with Headquarters 14th Air Force.
