Project 10073 Record Card — San Fernando, California, 6 February 1956

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated teletype communications regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon reported on February 6, 1956, in San Fernando, California. A 22-year-old civilian spot welder reported observing a single, circular object that appeared to be the size of a pinhead at arm's length. The witness described the object as yellowish-white, resembling a light bulb. The object was observed for approximately 10 seconds, traveling from the southwest to the northeast at an estimated speed of 500 knots and an altitude between 3,000 and 5,000 feet. The report notes that the weather conditions at the time included slight haze with 10 miles of visibility and scattered clouds at 3,000 feet. The sighting was reported to the 670th ACWRON and subsequently processed under Air Force Regulation 200-2. Official conclusions recorded on the project card categorized the event as a 'probable aircraft' sighting, although the teletype message also noted 'insufficient info for analysis.' The documentation includes standard military routing information, identifying the Air Technical Intelligence Center and the Air Defense Command as involved parties in the processing of this report.
