This document is a Project 10073 record detailing an aerial sighting that occurred on November 7, 1954, near Brunswick, Georgia. The report documents a single object observed at 2350Z. The witness described the object as a brilliant white, basketball-sized entity that maintained a level flight path without performing any maneuvers before flying out of sight. The observation lasted for approximately 10 seconds. The report includes technical details, noting an altitude of 15,000 feet and a speed of 250 knots. The official conclusion reached by the Air Technical Intelligence Center was that the object was a meteor. The report acknowledges that while 10 seconds is an unusually long duration for a meteor observation, the speed and arc distance traveled were consistent with meteor behavior. The document includes a teletype message from Major John P. Daly Jr., which provides the raw data for the report, confirming the details of the sighting and the lack of physical evidence or photographic documentation. The report is marked as unclassified and serves as a formal record of the investigation into the incident.
The object could have been a meteor. 10 seconds is an unusual length of time to observe a meteor. However, due to arc distance travelled, duration is within meteor speed limits.
