A collection of eight UFO sightings reported in Formosa in December 1957. The military concluded there was insufficient information to evaluate the reports.
This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated military message forms detailing eight separate UFO sightings reported in Formosa (Taiwan) between December 20 and December 21, 1957. The reports were relayed through Chinese Nationalist sources to the US Section Joint Operation Center in Taipei. The sightings describe various phenomena, including a bright white wheel-like object, shooting lights, and white material dropping to the northwest. Specific locations mentioned include Taichung, Tawu, Hualien, and Taitung. Witnesses described the objects as being significantly brighter than meteors, with some remaining stationary before fading, while others moved at high or low speeds in various directions. The military command in Taipei reported that the Chinese Air Force (CAF) conducted no scramble action in response to these sightings. The official conclusion recorded on the project card is that there was insufficient information available to conduct a proper evaluation of the events.
