Project 10073 Record Card — 26 November 1956, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

On 26 November 1956, at 0650Z, a sighting of an unidentified aerial phenomenon occurred in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The witness, A/3C Robert Werman, stationed at the 33rd Air Division Air Defense Control Center, observed a single green, oval-shaped object while looking out of a window at Barracks 4016. The witness described the object as being approximately the size of a basketball held at arm's length. The object left a vapor trail estimated at 25 feet in length and maintained a straight flight path for a duration of approximately three seconds before disappearing behind an obstacle. The report notes that the witness was wearing glasses at the time of the observation. The incident was documented on a Project 10073 record card and reported via teletype to the Air Defense Command at Ent Air Force Base, the Director of Intelligence at HQ USAF, and the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The official conclusion reached by the evaluating agency was that the description, duration, and flight path of the object were consistent with a meteor.
