AI-Generated Summary
A 1959 UAP sighting report from Dallas, Texas, involving a round, white object. The Air Technical Intelligence Center concluded the object was likely an aircraft.
This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated teletype report regarding an Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) sighting that occurred on August 19, 1959, in Dallas, Texas. The report was filed by the 745th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron (ACWSQ) at Duncanville Air Force Station. The witness observed a single, round, white object that appeared slightly larger than a pea. The object was seen traveling in a straight flight path toward the south before fading from view. The duration of the observation was recorded as one minute. The weather conditions at the time were reported as clear. The report explicitly notes that there was no radar contact and no photographs were taken. The evaluating agency, the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, concluded that the object was 'probably aircraft.' The teletype communication, dated August 21, 1959, provides additional technical details, including atmospheric conditions and the observation's location at 32 degrees 51 minutes North, 96 degrees 46 minutes West, one mile north of Fair Parks in Dallas. The document also notes the difficulty of obtaining information in high-density areas during Visual Flight Rules (VFR) days. The final assessment remains that the object was likely an aircraft or a balloon.
