Project 10073 Record Card and Air Intelligence Information Report — Las Vegas, Nevada, 24 January 1958

This document comprises an Air Intelligence Information Report and a Project 10073 Record Card concerning a UFO sighting reported near Sunrise Mountain, Las Vegas, Nevada, on 24 January 1958. The report details an incident involving an Airman Third Class (A/3c) from the 3995th Installation Group at Nellis Air Force Base. According to the witness statement, the individual and three others were driving on a dirt road near Sunrise Mountain when they observed a long, dark object with a bluish-green glow. The object, estimated to be twice the length of an automobile, reportedly followed their vehicle for over thirty minutes at speeds between 50 and 60 miles per hour. The witness described the object as maintaining a straight flight path close to the ground and emitting a low-frequency whine. Upon stopping the car, one witness claimed to have opened the door and been met with a 'frigid blast of air.' When the witness flashed a light toward the object, it allegedly withdrew 10 to 20 feet. The object reportedly followed the vehicle for approximately one mile before disappearing. The official evaluation of the report, signed by Lt. Col. Harvey M. Davis of Wing Operations, explicitly states that the credibility of the sighting is doubtful and that the witnesses were considered unreliable. The report includes technical weather data for the time of the incident and confirms that no radar contact or photographic evidence was obtained. The document is marked as unclassified and serves as a record of the military's assessment of the event.
