Project 10073 Record Card — San Antonio, Texas, 12 August 1958

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated teletype report regarding a UFO sighting in San Antonio, Texas, on 12 August 1958. The witness, identified as a housewife, reported observing a single, round, silvery, and very bright object, approximately the size of a basketball, which remained stationary for 25 to 28 minutes. The report was filed by the 741st ACWRON at Lackland Air Force Base. The investigation included a check of radar data, which yielded no unusual sightings at the time of the incident. The official conclusion reached by the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) was that the object was a balloon. This determination was supported by balloon release schedules from the San Antonio Airport, which coincided with the time of the sighting. The report notes that the physical description of the object—specifically its round shape, silvery appearance, and stationary behavior—is characteristic of a balloon. The documentation includes standard military reporting formats, including the classification of the report as unclassified and the distribution to various Air Force intelligence and command centers.
