Project 10073 Record Card — 12 November 1957

This document is a Project 10073 record card and associated teletype report detailing an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sighting that occurred on 12 November 1957. The incident involved an airline crew flying a Resort Airlines DC-4 aircraft, approximately 15 miles east of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The witnesses, an airline captain and a co-pilot, reported observing a silver, half-circle shaped object while they were airborne at an altitude of 7,000 feet. The object was described as being larger than a basketball. The observation lasted for approximately two minutes. According to the report, the object disappeared as soon as the sun rose above the horizon. The military investigation, conducted by the Air Technical Intelligence Center, noted that the object was in the position of Mars at the time of the sighting. Due to the short duration of the observation and the lack of additional data, the official conclusion reached by the investigators was that there was insufficient data for a definitive evaluation. The report includes technical details regarding the aircraft's speed, the weather conditions, and the specific location of the observers. The document serves as a formal record of the military's attempt to categorize the sighting, ultimately resulting in an inconclusive finding.
