AI-Generated Summary
A GOC spotter in Cleburne, Texas, reported a circular, silver object on 26 November 1957. Official records list the case as having insufficient data, though handwritten notes suggest it was likely a sun reflection off a transport aircraft.
This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated teletype communications regarding a UFO sighting in Cleburne, Texas, on 26 November 1957. The witness, a Ground Observer Corps (GOC) spotter, reported observing a single, circular, silver object, described as being the size of a quarter, moving in an arc path from west to east. The observation lasted approximately 15 seconds. The witness reported hearing the sound of a transport plane during the event. The official conclusion recorded on the card states that there was insufficient data for evaluation and that a transport plane was ruled out as the source because the object was traveling in the opposite direction. However, handwritten annotations on the document suggest an alternative theory, noting that the sighting was likely a reflection of a transport plane in the air at that time, given the position of the sun. The investigating officer noted that the witness appeared to be very sincere and truthful.
