This document is a Project 10073 record card detailing an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sighting that occurred on November 7, 1957, in Winston Salem, North Carolina. The report describes a single, disc-shaped object, characterized as being the size of a silver dollar, white in color, and stubnosed at each end. The witness, identified as a civilian, reported that the object was very bright and remained in view for approximately four minutes. The object was observed heading in a northwest direction. Meteorological conditions at the time included broken clouds, with visibility at ten miles and cloud cover between one and five tenths. The surface winds were reported from the south at ten miles per hour. The report explicitly notes that there were no photos taken, no film or video recorded, and no radar contact made. The official conclusion reached by the evaluating agency, the Air Technical Intelligence Center, was that the object was 'Probably Aircraft.' This assessment was supported by comments suggesting that the sighting was likely one of many aircraft operating in the area during that time of day. The document includes internal communications between the 310th ACWRON at Winston Salem AFS and the Air Defense Command (ADC) at Ent AFB, Colorado, confirming the routine flight activity in the region.
