Project 10073 Record Card — Bristol, Tennessee, 27 May 1957

This document is a Project 10073 record card detailing an unidentified aerial phenomenon sighting that occurred on May 27, 1957, near Bristol, Tennessee. The report indicates that the witness, identified as airline personnel, observed a single white object for a duration of thirty minutes. The witness described the object as a bright light, comparing its size to a star or a dime held at arm's length. At the time of the observation, the object was reported as stationary. The record card explicitly notes that no photographs were taken and there was no radar contact associated with the event. In the conclusions section, the evaluator assessed the sighting, noting that a balloon would not remain in front of an aircraft for the reported thirty-minute duration. Given the lack of apparent closure between the object and the aircraft, the evaluator concluded that the sighting was most likely an astronomical body. The document concludes with a note stating that there is no further report in the file.
