Project 10073 Record Card — Great Bend, Kansas, 24 March 1958

This document is a Project 10073 record card detailing an unidentified aerial phenomenon sighting reported on March 24, 1958, in Great Bend, Kansas. The report indicates that a civilian witness observed a single blue and white, ball-shaped object that emitted a flash. The duration of the observation was recorded as five to seven seconds. The object was noted to be heading southeast. The report includes administrative routing information to various military installations, including the Flight Service Center at Lowry AFB, the 29th Air Division at Richards-Gebaur AFB, and the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson AFB. The official conclusion reached by the evaluating authorities was that the object was possibly a meteor. A duty officer noted the possibility of a meteor shower. The document contains minimal descriptive data, and the investigators ultimately determined there was insufficient data for a more definitive evaluation, though the meteor hypothesis remained the primary assessment.
