AI-Generated Summary
A 1956 sighting report from Hollywood, California, describes a silent, triangular object observed by a civilian. Military investigators concluded it was likely an aircraft, despite noting the lack of sound.
This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated teletype message regarding a UFO sighting in Hollywood, California, on November 5, 1956. The witness, Edith Frisby, reported observing a single, triangular-shaped, gray-black object roughly the size of a jet plane. The object was observed for one minute as it traveled in a straight line toward the southeast before fading from view. The report notes that the witness was looking for aircraft when the object was spotted. Military authorities, specifically the 669th ACWRON, conducted an investigation that included checking local towers for information on low-flying aircraft, which yielded no results. The official conclusion recorded on the card states that the duration, description, and flight path indicate the sighting was likely caused by an aircraft. However, the teletype message from 1st Lt. Ralph T. Jarvis, Senior Director of the Alpha Crew, adds a significant caveat: the possibility that the object was an Air Force jet is described as 'extremely thin' due to the complete absence of sound during the observation.
THE POSSIBILITY OF OBJECT BEING AN A.F. JET IS EXTREMELY THIN DUE TO THE ABSENCE OF SOUND.
