Project 10073 Record Card — Brookville, Ohio, 14 November 1957

This document is a Project 10073 record card and accompanying U.S. Air Force Technical Information Sheet detailing a sighting reported on November 14, 1957, in Brookville, Ohio. The witness, a civilian, reported observing a single, silver, metallic object with rough edges, described as being the size of a quarter. The object was observed falling from the sky for a duration of a few seconds. The witness estimated the object landed approximately 40 feet away from their position, but they did not attempt to retrieve or inspect the object, choosing instead to file a report. The weather conditions at the time were described as dry and hazy with a slight breeze. The Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) evaluated the report and concluded that the observer was not considered reliable. The official conclusion recorded on the project card is 'Unreliable Rpt' and 'Insufficient Data for Evaluation'. The documentation includes the standard questionnaire responses, which indicate the witness was in an open countryside setting at the time of the sighting and was not moving in a vehicle. The witness provided a sketch showing the object falling from the sky. The overall assessment by the Air Force was that the report lacked credibility and did not warrant further investigation.
