PROJECT 10073 RECORD CARD — 23 July 1956, San Antonio, Texas

This document is a Project 10073 Record Card detailing an unidentified aerial phenomenon sighting that occurred on July 23, 1956, in San Antonio, Texas. The report was submitted via AF Form 112 by the Commander of the San Antonio Air Materiel Area (SAAMA) at Kelly Air Force Base. According to the record, the witness observed a very bright object, described as being the size of a dime at arm's length with a silver and gold tint, which appeared brighter than a star. The object's behavior was characterized by a series of movements: it was first seen moving from the southwest to the northeast, then appeared to halt for a few seconds before turning and disappearing toward the southeast. Approximately five minutes later, the object reappeared in the southeast and moved in a straight line to the northeast before disappearing again. Ten minutes after that, it reappeared in the northwest and moved on a straight course to the southwest, where it disappeared from view. The duration of the first sighting was one minute, with the second and third sightings also lasting one minute each. The record indicates that no photographs were taken and there was no radar contact. The official evaluation noted that the length of the sightings and the straight-line flight paths suggested the object was possibly an aircraft. A final note on the card states that there was no further report in the file.
