PROJECT 10073 RECORD CARD — Kaiserslauten, Germany, 7 August 1954

This document consists of a Project 10073 Record Card and associated military teletype communications regarding a UFO sighting in Kaiserslauten, Germany, on August 7, 1954. The primary witness, Lieutenant Friedrich N. Schwae of the 3331st LS Trans Det, reported observing a single object for four minutes at approximately 2228Z. The witness described the object as having four different shapes—round, oblong, egg-shaped, and half-round—and noted three red lines extending to the North, Southwest, and East. The object was observed through a window at an elevation of approximately 60 degrees and an azimuth of 120-160 degrees. The witness reported that the object changed sizes during flight and moved in a circular, upward trajectory into space. The weather conditions were reported as clear with stars visible, a wind from the SSW at 12 knots, and a broken cloud layer at 3500 feet. The official conclusion reached by the military investigators was that the object was an aircraft, with the observed lines interpreted as contrails reflecting sunlight. The report includes a note from Captain Robert T. Belmont of the Hedron 66th TacReon WG, stating that no formal analysis was conducted and that the witness should be marked as F-3. Additionally, the document contains a separate, unrelated press-style clipping regarding a factory worker named Albrecht Steiner who allegedly photographed a dome-topped saucer with landing gear in Bad Hersfeld, Germany, on August 8, 1954.
