Project 10073 Record Card — Sighting Report, Dallas, Texas, May 27, 1959

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and a corresponding witness letter regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed in Dallas, Texas, on the night of May 27, 1959. The witness reported observing four lights flying in a 'winged formation' at approximately 9:30 P.M. The witness described the objects as moving at a 'fantastic rate of speed' in a northerly direction before eventually turning at a 90-degree angle and descending below the horizon. The witness noted that the brightest of the four lights began to transmit red dots during the observation, which lasted for approximately one and a half hours. The witness, who expressed confusion regarding the nature of the lights, requested an explanation from the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The official analysis conducted by the Air Technical Intelligence Center concluded that the sighting was likely caused by a battery of searchlights. However, the investigators noted that the report provided by the witness was 'sketchy and contradictory.' Citing internal policy regarding reports from a single witness without exceptional qualifications, the agency officially classified the incident as 'insufficient evidence' for further evaluation.
