Project 10073 Record Card and Associated Message

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated military message regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon. On April 25, 1958, at 2033Z, the Master of the SS Cocle, a Panamanian vessel, reported observing a cigar-shaped object of a bluish color. The object was described as being at a very high altitude and heading north. The location of this sighting was recorded as 3800 N 5430 W in the Atlantic Ocean. The record card explicitly notes that the object did not appear to be an aircraft or a falling star. The military message, dated May 1, 1958, confirms the receipt of this information from the Eastern Sea Frontier. The message also includes references to other sightings, including a report from an individual named Giarard, who observed a bright white light for approximately 20 seconds at 2242Z, which also did not appear to be a falling star. The official conclusion recorded on the project card for the primary sighting is that there was insufficient data for evaluation.
