Project 10073 Record Card and Air Intelligence Information Report — 2 November 1957, Canadian, Texas

This document comprises a Project 10073 record card and an Air Intelligence Information Report regarding a UFO sighting that occurred on 2 November 1957, approximately three miles west of Canadian, Texas. The witness, a Supply Sergeant from the 38th Fighter-Bomber Squadron, reported encountering a stationary, submarine-shaped object on the ground near U.S. Highway 60. The object was described as being two to three times the length of an automobile and approximately eight feet high at its highest point, colored red and white. The witness further described a white flag-like feature extending from the top of the object or held by a figure standing nearby. During the encounter, which lasted approximately three minutes, the witness reported that a flash of light from the object extinguished his vehicle's headlights. The lights reportedly returned to normal function after the witness drove away. The report includes a hand-drawn sketch of the object and its surroundings, including fence posts. The official evaluation of the report, as noted on the record card, is that the source is considered unreliable. The document was prepared by Captain John F. Staley of the 312th Fighter-Bomber Wing and distributed to the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) and the Air Defense Command (ADC).
