Project 10073 Record Card and Incident Report — 11 Nov 60

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and a subsequent teletype report detailing a UFO sighting that occurred on November 11, 1960. The primary witness was a charter pilot flying a Beech Bonanza aircraft at an altitude of 8,500 feet, approximately 30 miles west of Goodland, Kansas. The pilot was accompanied by two passengers who also observed the phenomenon. According to the report, the object appeared as a bright, blue-green light, described as being the size of a half-dollar. It was observed for a duration of four seconds while maintaining level flight at a speed described as faster than a jet. The object then disappeared instantaneously toward the west. The pilot, noted as reliable, reported that he could not hear any noise from the object due to the engine noise of his own aircraft. Weather conditions at the time were reported as clear with good visibility. The official conclusion recorded on the project card states that the duration and description of the event are characteristic of a meteor. The teletype communication, dated November 15, 1960, confirms the details of the sighting and notes that the pilot and his passengers were the sole observers.
