PROJECT 10073 RECORD CARD — Woodstock, Georgia, 5 November 1957

This document is a Project 10073 record card and associated teletype report concerning a UFO sighting that occurred on 5 November 1957 near Woodstock, Georgia. A civilian witness reported observing a round, bright yellow object that appeared like a star. The object was described as hovering with little motion, though it was noted to have changed its angle of elevation while moving from the east-northeast. The sighting lasted for approximately one hour. The report notes that the witness provided contradictory statements, leading investigators to categorize the report as containing inconsistent information. Military intelligence from the 35th Air Division evaluated the sighting and concluded that the object was likely a conventional aircraft. Specifically, it was noted that a T-33 and two F-84F aircraft were flying in the immediate vicinity of Dobbins Air Force Base on local flight plans at the time. The report suggests that the navigation lights of these jet aircraft would have been visible to the observer at the reported azimuth and elevation. Furthermore, the document mentions that local radio and television stations had broadcast reports regarding a recent rash of UFO sightings less than an hour before this incident, which may have influenced the witness. The 38th ACWRON reported only normal air traffic during the period in question.
