Project 10073 Record Card — Turner AFB, Georgia, 6 November 1957

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated teletype reports regarding a UAP sighting on 6 November 1957 at Turner AFB, Georgia. At 0026 Z, four witnesses—including a control tower operator and three air police personnel—observed a round, greenish-yellow object, estimated to be between the size of a dime and a volleyball. The object featured a fiery orange tail, with a length one to four times its diameter. The witnesses reported the object moving in a straight line and a moderate arc, appearing to descend at great speed before abruptly disappearing before reaching the horizon. The duration of the event was estimated at two to three seconds. The night was reported as very clear with a bright full moon. The report notes that similar sightings were reported by Army 4419 in the vicinity of Troy, Alabama, as well as at the Albany Civil Airport and military installations in Miami, Vero Beach, and Orlando, Florida. Due to the widespread nature of these simultaneous sightings, the assistant wing intelligence officer concluded that the object was likely a meteor, noting that the greenish-yellow color and the short duration were consistent with a bolide or fireball.
