Project 10073 Record Card — Sparrevohn, Alaska, 14 February 1960

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated teletype correspondence regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon reported on February 14, 1960, at Sparrevohn Air Force Station, Alaska. The primary witness, SSgt Ralph F. Baldwin of the 719th ACW Squadron, reported that he did not see the object himself but was alerted by a companion. The object was described as a white, discular, dice-shaped entity, larger than a basketball, which appeared to look like a light beam. It was observed moving from west to east at an altitude of 45 degrees above the horizon for a duration of two to four seconds. The weather conditions were reported as a bright moonlit night with a few clouds and calm surface winds. The report explicitly states that there was no sound or trail associated with the object. The investigation was conducted by 1st Lt. Cyrus L. Brooks of the Intelligence Division, 10th Air Division. Brooks concluded that the sighting was consistent with previous reports in the same geographic area, which had been tentatively classified as meteors. Consequently, the official assessment was that the object was likely a meteor or meteorite. The document includes a formal analysis sheet summarizing the event, noting that the source reliability was unknown and that the object was seen by only one witness.
