PROJECT 10073 RECORD CARD - 11 JUL 60

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and subsequent military correspondence regarding a UFO sighting reported on July 11, 1960, in Kansas City, Missouri. The initial report describes a witness who observed an object resembling a meteor at 2105 local time, followed by a second sighting of three red glowing objects in trail, flying at a level altitude toward the SSE for approximately three minutes. The Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) requested further investigation into the incident, specifically asking if the objects passed directly overhead, the duration of the sightings, and whether radar sites had been checked. In response, military personnel at Richards Gebaur AFB provided additional details, noting that the objects did not pass directly overhead but moved from 360 degrees to 190 degrees at a very high altitude. Witnesses reported varying durations for the sightings, ranging from three to four seconds to thirty seconds, and one witness reported a separate sighting lasting two to three minutes. The correspondence confirms that FAA and local radar installations were queried regarding aircraft in the area, and all reports returned negative results. Despite the lack of radar confirmation, the official conclusion recorded on the card states that the observation contained elements consistent with an aircraft sighting, such as level flight and red lights, and there was no evidence to suggest the objects were anything other than aircraft.
