This document is an Air Intelligence Information Report (SAC IR 6-55) regarding a UFO sighting that occurred on 25 June 1955, approximately 20 miles east of Duncan, Oklahoma. The report was prepared by the 11th Bombardment Wing (H) at Carswell Air Force Base, Texas, and forwarded to the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The primary witness was a 55-year-old civilian who observed the object while driving. The witness reported seeing a round, light green object with an orange trail that appeared to be approximately three times the diameter of the object itself. The object's outline was described as fuzzy, and the trail was noted to be cut off squarely at the trailing edge. The observation lasted for approximately five seconds as the object traveled in a horizontal path toward the east-southeast before fading from view. The weather conditions at the time were reported as clear and calm with 15 miles of visibility. The witness reported the sighting to their son, an employee at the Nuclear Area of Convair in Fort Worth, Texas. The official conclusion reached by the military intelligence officers was that the sighting was a meteor. The report includes a hand-drawn diagram illustrating the object's appearance, including the 'size of moon,' the 'light green' color, the 'orange' trail, and the 'abrupt cut of trail.' The document was processed under Project 10073 and includes standard administrative markings for Air Intelligence Information Reports, noting that no physical evidence was recovered and no intercept action was taken.
