This document is a Project 10073 record card and associated military teletype correspondence regarding a UFO sighting reported on September 14, 1958, near Dallas, Texas. A female witness, identified as a 32-year-old housewife, reported observing four star-like objects, described as being the size of a pea and displaying white, pink, red, and blue colors. The objects were observed for one hour and thirty minutes through a telescope, moving in a straight path from the northwest to the southeast before instantaneously disappearing. The report notes that the witness was unfamiliar with the telescope and could not provide specific elevation or azimuth data for the objects. Military authorities at the 745th ACWRON in Duncanville, Texas, received the report and vectored two F86L aircraft to the area to investigate, but the mission yielded no results. The official conclusion recorded on the card is that the witness was unreliable and the report was classified as unreliable. The documentation includes technical details regarding weather conditions at various altitudes and the formal communication chain between the 745th ACWRON, the 33rd NORAD Division, and the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC).
