This document is a Project 10073 Record Card detailing a sighting that occurred on 13 November 1957 in Alpine, Arizona, near a Ranger Station. The witness, identified only as a civilian, reported observing a single, round, white object described as being the size of a nickel. The object was observed moving in a downward trajectory and shifted one degree to the west while it remained in sight. The report indicates that the observation was made via ground-visual means, and no radar contact was reported. The official conclusion recorded on the card suggests the object was 'Possibly Astronomical,' specifically noting that an astronomical plot placed the planet Venus in the southwest at the time of the sighting. However, the record notes a limitation in the data, as the observer did not explicitly state the exact direction in which the object was sighted.
An astro plot shows Venus to be in the SW at time of sighting. However, observer does not state exact direction of object sighted.
