AI-Generated Summary

TL;DR

A 1956 UAP sighting report from Hollywood, California, involving a single blue-white object. The military investigator dismissed the report as lacking sufficient data and recommended no further action.

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated teletype report regarding an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sighting that occurred in Hollywood, California, on May 6, 1956. The witness, a 50-year-old civilian scriptwriter, reported observing a single object described as being the size of a dime and blue-white in color. The object was reportedly sighted at an altitude of eight to ten thousand feet, moving north before disappearing into the hills. The report was filed by the 669th ACWRON and transmitted to the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The investigating officer, 1st Lieutenant Monte D. Wright, expressed significant skepticism regarding the report. In his comments, he stated that he saw nothing unusual about the sighting and criticized the quality of the data, specifically noting that the description 'size of dime' was impossible to translate into usable intelligence. Consequently, he recommended no further action be taken on the case. The official conclusion recorded on the card is that the object was 'probably a/c' (aircraft) due to limited data.

I SEE NOTHING PARTICULARLY UNUSUAL ABOUT THIS SIGHTING AND BELIEVE THE REPORT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN INITATED "SIZE OF DIME" IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TRANSLATE INTO USEABLE DATA. RECOMMEND NO ACCION.
