Project 10073 Record Card — 7 Nov 59 Sighting, 8mi NNW of San Antonio, Texas

This document is an Air Intelligence Information Report regarding a UFO sighting that occurred on November 7, 1959, near San Antonio, Texas. The primary witness, a drill rig operator at a local rock quarry, reported observing a round, silver-white object, described as being the size of a pinhead. The sighting lasted for approximately one minute. According to the report, the object's flight path was varied, featuring an abrupt right-angle turn toward the north before it disappeared quickly. At the time of the sighting, the observer was also looking for and had successfully identified the planet Venus. The report notes that the observer's co-worker, who was present, was of Latin-American descent, spoke poor English, and appeared resistive to questioning, leading the investigating officer to discontinue further inquiries with that individual. The 3510th Flying Training Wing at Randolph AFB conducted an investigation, which included contacting the AC&W GCI at Lackland AFB and the San Antonio Weather Bureau; both inquiries yielded negative results regarding radar or other data. The weather conditions were described as fairly clear with scattered conditions and temperature inversions at 800 and 5,000 feet. The report concludes that a preliminary analysis revealed no probable cause for the sighting. The document includes a hand-drawn sketch of the object's flight path relative to the observer and the position of Venus. The report was prepared by Captain George W. Weber and forwarded to the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson AFB.
