Project 10073 Record Card — Corpus Christi, Texas, 1 November 1955

This document is a Project 10073 record card detailing a UFO sighting that occurred on November 1, 1955, in Corpus Christi, Texas. The report documents an observation made by a civilian, identified as a former Marine flyer, and his wife. The witnesses reported seeing two saucer-shaped objects that changed color from blue to purple and back to blue. The objects were observed for approximately 15 minutes, during which they were seen flying erratically toward the west at a high rate of speed. The witnesses estimated the altitude of the objects to be over 50,000 feet. The record card includes meteorological data for the time of the sighting, noting 12 miles of visibility, a surface pressure of 1.11, a temperature of 77 degrees, a dew point of 71 degrees, and a wind from the SSW at 2 knots. The document explicitly states that there were no unusual meteorological conditions in the vicinity that would account for the sighting. Despite the witness's background in aviation, the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) concluded that there was insufficient data to provide a definitive evaluation of the event. The report is part of the broader military effort to track and assess unidentified aerial phenomena during the 1950s.
