AI-Generated Summary

TL;DR

A civilian in La Habra, California, reported an oblong, dark brown object moving faster than a jet on July 13, 1955. Military investigators concluded there was insufficient data to evaluate the sighting.

This document is a Project 10073 record card and associated military teletype correspondence regarding a UFO sighting that occurred on July 13, 1955, in La Habra, California. The report, filed by the 669th ACWRON, details a civilian observation of a single, oblong, dark brown object. The witness reported that the object was moving faster than a jet at an altitude of approximately 3,000 feet, traveling in a northeasterly direction. The observation lasted for 15 seconds before the object faded out. Weather conditions at the time were reported as clear with few high clouds and 25 miles of visibility. The investigating officer, 1/LT Kenneth D. Weber, noted that two F-86 aircraft were orbiting the Van Nuys Airport in the landing pattern at the time of the sighting. However, the report concludes that there was insufficient data to definitively identify the object, suggesting it was a possible aircraft but ultimately remaining inconclusive due to the lack of detailed information.

Possible a/c, however, insufficient data for evaluation.
