TL;DR

A 1957 sighting report from Kennesaw, Georgia, describes a falling object with a green core and long tail. Military authorities concluded the object was a meteor associated with the Leonid shower.

This document is a Project 10073 record card detailing an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sighting reported on November 9, 1957, in Kennesaw, Georgia. The witness, identified as an aircraft mechanic at Dobbins, observed a round object with a tail, described as being the size of a baseball. The object featured a green core that transitioned to red around the edges, accompanied by a yellow or orange tail that was five to six times the size of the object itself. The observation lasted approximately two to three seconds as the object fell straight downward. The report includes technical data, such as wind conditions and the lack of radar confirmation, with the senior controller noting an inability to identify the object through standard means. Handwritten annotations on the document suggest that the characteristics of the sighting were consistent with a meteor, specifically noting it was likely part of the Leonid meteor shower, which is prominent during that time of year. The document also references the work of Dr. Nininger and Dr. Olivier regarding meteors and fireballs as supporting evidence for this conclusion.

All the characteristics are those of a meteor -- probably part of the Leonid shower, prominent this time of the year.
