Project 10073 Record Card — Ada, Oklahoma, 17 May 1956

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated correspondence regarding a UFO sighting in Ada, Oklahoma, on May 17, 1956. A 12-year-old male witness reported observing approximately 20 round, silver-gray objects with central protrusions moving from the southwest to the northwest. The witness estimated the objects were 50 to 100 feet in diameter and traveling at speeds between 1,000 and 1,500 miles per hour. The observation lasted approximately 20 seconds under clear, bright daylight conditions. The witness claimed the objects were under intelligent control and appeared to be machines. The witness initially reported the sighting to a civilian organization called 'Civilian Flying Saucer Intelligence' after receiving a letter from them, before subsequently submitting a report to the Air Force. The official conclusion recorded on the project card is 'Insufficient data for evaluation.' Internal notes from the investigating agency reflect significant skepticism toward the witness, describing him as a young man with a 'highly-developed imagination' and suggesting that the report might be part of a test or check by an outside party. The file includes detailed sketches and notes provided by the witness, including a diagram of the objects' formation and their appearance, which the witness compared to an inverted hubcap.
