PROJECT 10073 RECORD CARD - 9 March 1957

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated military message (RJEDEN 112) regarding a sighting that occurred on March 9, 1957, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. A 59-year-old civilian jeweler reported observing two objects that appeared to be connected, floating in an easterly direction at an estimated altitude of 5,000 feet. The witness described the objects as brown, separated by approximately 5 to 6 feet, and noted that each object featured a white letter or number. The observation lasted for one hour and fifteen minutes, ending when the witness phoned in the report. The witness used binoculars to aid their observation. The military message, sent from the 4602nd AISS at Ent AFB to the Director of Intelligence at USAF Headquarters, confirms the details of the sighting and notes that the weather conditions were clear and windy. The official conclusion recorded on the project card is that the objects were likely a box kite, a sentiment echoed in the comments section by the preparing officer.
