Project 10073 Record Card — Diedesfeld, Germany, 29 July 1954

This document is a Project 10073 record card and associated military intelligence report concerning an unidentified aerial phenomenon sighting in Diedesfeld, Germany, on July 29, 1954. Two civilian witnesses, identified as a student and a housewife, reported observing two shiny, silver, round objects that appeared to move in a circular flight path. The witnesses described the objects as looking like 'confetti' and noted that they were in formation for approximately 15 seconds, with a total observation duration of four minutes. The objects were sighted while the witnesses were observing jets in the area, and they were noted to be positioned above the cloud layers. The report includes a military intelligence summary (MOI 919) transmitted on August 12, 1954, which details the incident and provides technical data regarding the observation, including the angle and azimuth of the objects. The intelligence officer, Captain Robert T. Belmont of the 66th Tactical Reconnaissance Wing, noted that the witnesses were assigned a reliability rating of F-3. Ultimately, the official conclusion recorded on the project card is that there was insufficient data for a formal evaluation of the sighting.
