Project 10073 Record Card — Sighting of 15-17 November 1958, Logan, Utah

This document consists of a Project 10073 Record Card and associated correspondence regarding a UFO sighting in Logan, Utah, in November 1958. The witness, a civilian, reported observing a single, dark, cylindrical object in the sky for approximately ten minutes. The object was described as being 30 to 40 feet long with a diameter of 4 to 5 feet. The witness noted that the object circled in the southwest and left a contrail behind it. The weather was reported as clear and dry, and the witness noted no sound. The witness was accompanied by two other women who also observed the object. The official evaluation concluded that the object was an aircraft, citing the presence of a contrail and the clear weather conditions. Internal Air Force correspondence from Major Robert J. Friend, dated December 29, 1958, confirms the ATIC's agreement with the witness's assessment of a separate, earlier sighting on April 17, 1958, as a fireball, and recommends sending a questionnaire to the witness regarding the cylindrical object sighting to gather more details about its reported right-angle turns.
