Project 10073 Record — Nouasseur, French Morocco, 13 October 1954

This document is a Project 10073 record detailing an unidentified aerial phenomenon sighting that occurred on October 13, 1954, at 1005Z in Nouasseur, French Morocco. The report documents an observation made by two personnel from the 29-3 Weather Detachment, both identified as reliable observers. The witnesses were conducting a routine tracking of a weather balloon using a theodolite when they observed an additional object. The object was described as round, silver, and approximately the size of a pinhead. It maintained a straight flight path and did not exhibit any maneuvering. The observation lasted for 30 seconds. The object's trajectory was recorded as moving from 64 degrees elevation at 243 degrees azimuth to 40 degrees elevation at 30 degrees azimuth. The observers noted that there was no sound associated with the object. Weather conditions at the time were reported as clear with winds at 230 degrees at 15 knots. The official conclusion reached by the evaluating agency, ACS/INTEL, was that the object remained unidentified. The report confirms that no photographs were taken and no physical evidence was recovered.
