Project 10073 Record Card — North Park, Colorado, 30 June 1958

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated military teletype messages regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon reported on June 30, 1958, in North Park, Colorado. The witness, a civilian located at the Bob Wade Ranch near Spicer Peak, observed a single, elongated, orange or yellowish object for approximately 25 minutes. The witness described the object as being the size of a dime, noting that its light waxed and waned and that the object itself weaved and bobbed. The report indicates that the observation was made via ground visual means, with no radar contact or photographic evidence obtained. Weather conditions at the time were reported as clear with a few clouds. Military communications from the Flight Service Center at Lowry Air Force Base were routed to various intelligence and air defense commands, including the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The official conclusion reached by the evaluating authorities was that there was insufficient data for a definitive evaluation. Handwritten notes on the documentation suggest that while the duration and movement patterns might have suggested an astronomical source, the lack of sufficient information precluded a more specific identification.
