Project 10073 Record Card and Report — Haviland, Kansas, October 1957

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and a subsequent military teletype report detailing an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sighting that occurred on October 22, 1957, near Haviland, Kansas. The report documents the observations of two witnesses, identified as farmers, who observed three objects for a duration of 30 minutes. The objects were described as oblong, half-moon shaped with a dome on top, and ranging in color from pure white to reddish. The witnesses reported that the objects were positioned with two on top of each other and a third trailing behind. The objects moved in a northerly direction without maneuvers, exhaust, or sound. The size of the objects was estimated to be that of a half-dollar. The report was processed by the 20th Air Division and forwarded to the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The official conclusion reached by the evaluating agency was that the objects were possibly balloons, though the reported northerly motion made an astronomical explanation less likely. Ultimately, the investigators determined there was insufficient data for a definitive evaluation. The document includes technical details such as wind data and the specific military reporting channels used under CONAD 55-1 regulations.
