Project 10073 Record Cards — Globe, Arizona, November 1957

This document consists of two Project 10073 record cards and supplementary notes detailing UFO sightings reported in Globe, Arizona, on November 25, 1957. The first sighting, occurring at 0045Z, involved a single round, orange object, described as the size of a dime, moving in a South East direction for three minutes. The second sighting, occurring later that same day at 0220Z, involved three objects in a line, also described as the size of a dime, with the front object being larger. These objects were observed moving in a North-North-West direction for four minutes. The documentation includes handwritten annotations and a summary list of sightings found to be Soviet satellites. This list explicitly identifies the Globe, Arizona sightings as Sputnik II, based on official orbital tracks. The records indicate that the sightings were evaluated by ATIC and ultimately attributed to the Soviet satellite, rather than unidentified aerial phenomena of unknown origin. Additional notes mention a sighting in San Diego, California, on the same date, also associated with Sputnik II photography by F.M. Hemphill.
