Project 10073 Record Card — Waxahachie, Texas, 6 May 1959

This document is a Project 10073 record card and associated teletype correspondence regarding a UFO sighting that occurred on May 6, 1959, near Waxahachie, Texas. The primary witnesses were two Air Force Reserve officers and a housewife. According to the report, the witnesses observed a bright white light, described as having no definite shape and being the size of a dime, moving at a high rate of speed. The object was initially traveling west before making a port turn to approximately 140 degrees and fading out of sight to the south. The observation lasted for approximately two minutes. The witnesses used binoculars (Vega Model 786 6x30) to view the object. The report notes that a young boy also noticed the object and alerted the observers. The military investigation, conducted by the 745th ACWRON and evaluated by ATIC, concluded that the object was likely an aircraft. The analysis suggests that the sighting took place during evening twilight, which may have contributed to the witnesses' inability to identify the object as a conventional aircraft. The report explicitly states that there is no radar data available for the location during the time of the incident due to VFR conditions. The document includes detailed coordinates and witness information, though some names are redacted or illegible.
