Project 10073 Record Card and UFO Sighting Reports - June 1958

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated military communications regarding a series of UFO sightings reported on June 4, 1958, in the vicinity of Eunice, New Mexico, and Pecos and Kermit, Texas. The reports describe a single object, characterized as round and baseball-sized, displaying orange, green, and black colors with an orange trail resembling jet exhaust. Witnesses, including a civilian with an interest in astronomy, reported the object moving at a very high altitude in a west-northwest direction. Military intelligence, specifically Major Corbin D. Stevens of the 6th Bomb Wing at Walker Air Force Base, compiled the reports. The official conclusion reached by the investigating authorities was that the sightings were likely associated with a meteor shower. The report notes that the information provided was meager and suggests that discrepancies in witness accounts and timing could be attributed to the observation of a single meteor event. The documentation includes weather data for the region and references to standard Air Force regulations regarding UFO reporting procedures. The file was originally classified as Confidential but was later declassified.
