TL;DR

A 1958 sighting in Farmington, New Mexico, of a bright yellow, oval object was investigated by the Air Force. The event was officially classified as a meteor due to the brief duration and lack of corroborating evidence.

This document is a Project 10073 record card and associated teletype message regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon reported in Farmington, New Mexico, on May 14, 1958. The report details a sighting by a 49-year-old doctor who observed a single, oval-shaped object described as being the size of a half-dollar and bright yellow in color. The observation lasted for approximately three seconds before the object 'blacked out.' The military investigation, conducted by the 34th Air Division and reported to the Air Technical Intelligence Center, concluded that the information provided was extremely limited but consistent with the characteristics of a meteor or meteorite sighting. The report explicitly notes that there were no photographs, radar contacts, or other physical evidence associated with the event. The documentation includes a formal teletype (INT 2248) sent from the Commander of the 34th Air Division to various Air Force intelligence commands, confirming the details of the sighting and the subsequent assessment that it was likely an astronomical event.
