Project 10073 Record Card — 21 July 1960 Sighting, Fort Worth, Texas

This document details a UFO sighting reported on 21 July 1960, near Fort Worth, Texas. A witness, identified as a fairly reliable employee at Convair, observed a single, round, red object with jagged edges, approximately the size of a pea, while sitting on their back porch. The object was described as flickering like a star, wavering up and down along a straight horizontal flight path, and disappearing instantaneously into the southwest without fading in size. The observation lasted 10 to 12 seconds. The weather was clear with calm winds and good visibility. Following the report, the 19th Air Division at Carswell AFB conducted an investigation. They contacted the GCI site at Duncanville, which reported no radar contacts corresponding to the sighting. Additionally, pilots from Hensley Field, who were conducting exercises in the area at the time, reported no sightings of any unusual objects. The Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) requested further inquiries, but no other witnesses were identified. The final assessment by the 7th Bombardment Wing concluded that there was no explainable cause for the sighting, though it was noted that it was possible the witness saw a meteor. The report includes the original Project 10073 record card, teletype messages between military units, and an Air Intelligence Information Report.
