AI-Generated Summary
A report of a white, fast-moving object sighted on November 5, 1957, which was officially classified as having insufficient data but noted to have characteristics of a meteor.
This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated teletype communications regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon reported on November 5, 1957. The report details a sighting of a white, lighted object traveling at a high rate of speed in a south-westerly direction. The witness observed the object passing under the moon and traveling from horizon to horizon in approximately three seconds. The witness explicitly stated that the object was not a shooting star. The official evaluation provided by the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) concludes that the information provided is too meager to definitively evaluate the report, though it notes that the object exhibits characteristics consistent with a meteor. Handwritten annotations on the teletype copies further analyze the report, with one note questioning the speed, suggesting that a transit from horizon to horizon would typically take more than three minutes, contrasting with the three-second duration reported by the witness. The documents were circulated between various military intelligence units, including the Air Tech Intel Center and the Director of Intelligence at HQ USAF.
The very meager information makes it impossible to evaluate this report. However, the object has characteristics of a meteor.
