This document is a Project 10073 Record Card detailing a sighting that occurred on October 17, 1955, in Yuma, Arizona. The observer reported seeing approximately 12 pale yellow lights traveling in a south-southeast (SSE) direction. The lights were described as being in a wide 'V' formation, with three of the outer lights appearing to be in an echelon arrangement. The duration of the sighting was brief, lasting only three to four seconds. The observer noted that the lights grew dimmer and smaller before fading entirely, and they formed the impression that the objects were at a very high altitude. The official evaluation concluded that the sighting was likely a meteor or a small band of asteroids being drawn into the outer fringes of the Earth's atmosphere. The report explicitly notes that there is no case file associated with this record.
Duration of sighting and the impression of high alt leads to evaluation that observer possibly saw a meteor shower or small band of asteroids which were drawn into the outer fringes of our atmosphere. Possible meteor.
