This document is a Project 10073 record card detailing a UFO sighting that occurred in Austria on 19 August 1954. The report describes a single, small, gleaming, disc-like object that was observed for a duration of two minutes. The witness compared the size of the object to being approximately twice as large as the planet Venus.
