Project 10073 Record Card — Kerrville, Texas, 9 June 1957

This document is a Project 10073 record card and associated teletype report concerning a UFO sighting that occurred on June 9, 1957, in Kerrville, Texas. The report describes a single, round object, estimated to be 700 feet wide and 200 feet high, exhibiting a brilliant color and bright lights around its edge. The object was observed by young people traveling silently toward the south at a great speed. The duration of the observation was noted as 'not very long.' The initial assessment of the sighting on the record card indicated that the data was limited and inconclusive, leading to a classification of 'insufficient data for evaluation.' A follow-up teletype message, dated June 13, 1957, provides further context, noting that because balloons were reported in the area at the time, it was considered probable that the sighting was a high-altitude balloon reflecting the light of the sun. The report includes technical details such as the time of the sighting (2125 local time) and weather conditions, which were described as clear to partly scattered. The documentation reflects the standard procedure for the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) in processing and evaluating civilian reports of unidentified aerial phenomena during this period.
