This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated military teletype message regarding an aerial sighting reported on November 12, 1959. The sighting occurred south of Punta Campos, Mexico, at 0100Z on November 13, 1959. The primary witness is identified as a 'Steel Scientist' who observed a large object traveling from south to north.
