Project 10073 Record Card — 7 November 1957, Seminole, New Mexico

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated teletype reports regarding a UFO sighting that occurred on 7 November 1957, two miles north of Seminole, New Mexico. The report details an observation made by two individuals, both associated with the Seminole Police Department, who witnessed a round, red, pulsating object for a duration of 20 to 25 minutes. The witnesses described the object as appearing to be the size of a dime at arm's length and moving very fast. The report explicitly notes that no radar contact was made and no photographs were taken. The weather conditions were reported as clear. Approximately twenty minutes after the initial sighting, the observers reported seeing four or five aircraft in a westerly direction. The investigating officer, 1/LT Robert W. Debolt of the 685th ACWRON, concluded that the object was likely an aircraft, specifically suggesting that the pulsating red light was characteristic of a wing tip light. The final assessment on the record card indicates that the sighting was likely astronomical in nature, but ultimately classified as having insufficient data for a definitive evaluation because the observers failed to provide necessary positional data, such as elevations and azimuths.
