Project 10073 Record Card — Rialto, California, 1 August 1955

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated teletype report regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed on August 1, 1955, in Rialto, California. The witness, identified as Beverly Elliott, a 35-year-old city treasurer, reported observing a single, round, yellowish-white object that appeared to have a 'nickle' surface. The object was described as being at a high altitude and moving in an 'up and down' bobbing motion. The observation lasted for approximately ten minutes under clear, windless weather conditions. The witness reported that the object made no sound. The report was processed by the 659th ACWRON and forwarded to the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The official conclusion reached by the investigating officer, 1/Lt. Monte D. Wright, was that the report contained insufficient data for a proper evaluation. Specifically, the report noted that positional information was missing and that the sighting could not be correlated with any known air traffic defense activity. The documentation serves as a standard record of an unidentifiable sighting that failed to meet the criteria for further investigation due to a lack of corroborating evidence or detailed tracking data.
