PROJECT 10073 RECORD CARD — Sighting Report, 22 August 1958

This document is a Project 10073 record card detailing a sighting of an unidentified aerial phenomenon that occurred on August 22, 1958, in the North Pacific Ocean. The report, filed by DET COMBARPAC MIDWAY, describes an observation made by a Commander (CDR) and his copilot at dusk. The witnesses reported an object of undetermined shape, described as being the size of a pea held at arm's length, which exhibited a green-white color. The object was observed traveling in a horizontal path from left to right. After traversing a 10-degree arc, a small portion of the object appeared to separate in a descending arc, while the main portion simultaneously exploded. The witnesses noted that there was no visible trail or exhaust, and no sound was heard. The total duration of the event was approximately two seconds. The report explicitly states that there was no radar contact and no stars were visible at the time of the sighting. Other barrier aircraft in the area at the time did not report sighting the object. The official conclusion provided on the record card is that the event was an 'Apparent Bolide observation.' The document includes administrative details such as report number CAF IN 79351 and references an advance copy delivered to CIN 221750Z.
