Project 10073 Record Card — Eagle Pass, Texas, 20 November 1957

On November 20, 1957, at approximately 2330 CST, an unidentified aerial object was observed over Eagle Pass, Texas. The witness, identified as an Air Force veteran, reported seeing a large, white, triangular object moving south. The object, which displayed no illumination, was estimated to be traveling at a speed exceeding 1,000 miles per hour at an altitude between 10,000 and 20,000 feet. The duration of the sighting was approximately four seconds. The witness further reported observing a second object, described as a bright light, approximately ten minutes later, which maintained the same speed and altitude as the first. The weather conditions at the time were clear with no moon, though a low overcast with a ceiling of approximately 3,000 feet developed over the city immediately following the passage of the object. The reporting officer, Captain Frederick M. Diener of the 733 ACWRON, noted that the observer was calm and of sober disposition, though the officer characterized the report itself as 'very poor.' The official conclusion recorded on the Project 10073 record card identifies the phenomenon as a meteor. The witness, who had served during the war, stated this was his second UFO report.
