This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated teletype report regarding an unidentified aerial sighting in Yosemite, Kentucky, on January 2, 1958. The witness, James Coleman, a Ground Observer Corps (GOC) post supervisor, reported observing a single, round, white object that appeared smaller than a dime. The object was seen moving in a northwest direction for a duration of approximately three seconds. The teletype report, transmitted by the 58th Air Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, provides additional descriptive details, noting that the object left a 'trail of fire that appeared and disappeared' and was observed while 'sky watching.' The report includes meteorological data for the time of the sighting, which was described as a clear night with ten miles of visibility. The official conclusion recorded on the project card states that the description, duration, and flight path of the object indicate a high probability that the phenomenon was an astronomical meteor.
