AI-Generated Summary
A 1957 sighting report from Fort Deposit, Alabama, involving a circular, white object moving in concentric circles. The military concluded the report lacked sufficient data for evaluation.
This document consists of a Project 10073 Record Card and associated teletype communications regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon reported on November 7, 1957, in Fort Deposit, Alabama. The report documents a sighting by a civilian witness of a single, white, opaque, circular object. According to the report, the object was observed moving very rapidly in concentric circles to the left at an estimated altitude of 200 feet. The official military assessment, processed through the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) and referenced under Air Force Regulation 200-2, determined that the report contained insufficient data for a proper evaluation. Handwritten annotations on the final page of the teletype transcript express frustration with the lack of detail, noting that information regarding direction, range, and other specific characteristics was entirely absent. The case was ultimately closed with no analysis made due to the lack of evidence.
