This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated incoming Air Force staff message regarding a UFO sighting reported by the Columbian Navy on October 19, 1959. The sighting occurred at 1158Z near Cartagena, Colombia, at coordinates 10 degrees 08 minutes North and 75 degrees 50 minutes West.
