AI-Generated Summary
A U.S. Army GOC observer reported a long, blue and yellow object at Fort Knox on November 6, 1957. The investigation concluded there was insufficient data to identify the object, though Venus was considered a possibility.
This document is a Project 10073 record card detailing a UFO sighting reported on November 6, 1957, at Godman Field, Fort Knox, Kentucky. The witness, a 31-year-old U.S. Army member of the Military Police detachment and a qualified Ground Observer Corps (GOC) observer, reported seeing a single, long, slender object that appeared blue and yellow in color. The object was described as being the size of a quarter and was observed moving back and forth for over an hour. The report notes that the observer remained in sight of the object at the time of the report. The official evaluation of the incident concluded that there was insufficient data to make a definitive identification. The report explicitly mentions that azimuth and elevation were not provided by the observer, which hindered the analysis. Investigators noted that weather balloons were launched at the time of the sighting and suggested that the object might have been the planet Venus, though they could not confirm this hypothesis without more precise positional data. The document includes a standard record card format and a teletype-style summary of the incident.
Insufficient data for evaluation. Azimuth & elevation not reported. Probably Venus but cannot conclude without positional data.
