Project 10073 Record — Corbin, Kentucky, 7 February 1953

This document contains a record from Project 10073 regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon sighting in Corbin, Kentucky, on 7 February 1953. At approximately 2145 E.S.T., two state police officers and other witnesses at an airport near Corbin observed a single, red, pulsing, flame-like glowing ball. The object was described as traveling at a moderate speed, heading south and then west, with no visible means of propulsion. The observation lasted for approximately 20 minutes until the object moved out of sight. Meteorological conditions at the time were reported as having 2,500-foot broken clouds, clear skies to the south and west, and 15-mile visibility, with calm surface winds. The official conclusion reached by the Air Technical Intelligence Center was that there was insufficient data for evaluation. The document also includes a brief list of other sightings from 1952 and 1953, noting various explanations such as astronomical bodies, mirages, or misidentified aircraft, and a letter from a private citizen, Bunz Sodeman, inquiring about the reporting process for unidentified flying objects.
