AI-Generated Summary
A civilian in North Havre, Montana, reported a silver, round, zig-zagging object on 25 July 1957. The Air Force concluded that insufficient information was available to determine the cause of the sighting.
This document consists of a Project 10073 Record Card and an associated teletype report regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed on 25 July 1957 in North Havre, Montana. The witness, identified as a civilian named Mary [illegible], reported observing a single, round, bright silver object for a duration of four minutes. The object was described as being the size of a dime held at arm's length and was observed moving from the east to the north in a zig-zag flight path. The weather conditions at the time were reported as clear, hot, and dry with no wind. The report was filed by Major Edward J. M. Scholey of the 29th Air Division. While the record card contains a preliminary comment suggesting the sighting was 'probably caused by an a/c' (aircraft), the formal teletype report submitted under AFR 200-2 explicitly states that the information obtained was insufficient to perform a definitive analysis of the possible cause of the sighting. The report includes detailed meteorological data for various altitudes, ranging from the surface up to 50,000 feet, provided as part of the standard reporting procedure for such incidents.
