Project 10073 Record Card and Composite Report — Kunsan AB, Korea, 16 April 1959

This document consists of a Project 10073 Record Card and a composite intelligence report regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed at Kunsan Air Base, Korea, on April 16, 1959. The report details two distinct sightings occurring at 1855Z and 1905Z. The primary witnesses were Captain Billy S. Breedlove, A/2C James M. Grayson, and A/B Arthur B. Jarvis. Captain Breedlove, a pilot with six years of experience and 1850 flight hours, was pre-flighting an aircraft when he observed the object. The witnesses described the object as oblong, roughly the size of a silver dollar, and noted it possessed two white lights. During the first sighting, the object was observed moving from south to north at an elevation of 45 degrees, performing a 360-degree turn to the right. The observers were temporarily blinded by lights from a ground vehicle, which caused them to lose sight of the object. A second sighting occurred ten minutes later, where the object was observed traveling in a straight path on a northerly heading. The witnesses were interviewed individually, and their reports were found to be in agreement. Intelligence officer James S. Ramsey, Jr. of the 3rd Bombardment Wing oversaw the report. Extensive checks were conducted with the Kunsan weather detachment, KJOC, Base Ops, the tower, Tagou Flight Center, and GCI, all of which yielded negative results for any known aircraft or weather balloons in the area. The report concludes that the identity of the object remains unknown and that the physical presence of the subject UFO is considered probable.
