This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated teletype report detailing an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sighting that occurred on May 29, 1957, in Great Falls, Montana. The report documents a sighting by seven civilian witnesses, identified as Mr. and Mrs. [illegible], who observed a single, round, bright white light. The witnesses described the object as being approximately the size of the North Star. According to the report, the object exhibited erratic behavior, appearing to spin at a high speed before slowing down and eventually disappearing into the clouds. The total duration of the observation was approximately twenty minutes. The report was processed by the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) and distributed to the Director of Intelligence at HQ USAF and the Air Defense Command. Following an evaluation of the description, duration, and the manner in which the object disappeared, the official conclusion reached by the investigating authorities was that the sighting was likely caused by a balloon. The documentation includes standard military teletype formatting, referencing specific Air Force regulations, and confirms that no photographic or radar evidence was associated with the event.
