Project 10073 Record Card and Correspondence — Santa Fe, Argentina, 1961

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an accompanying letter dated June 2, 1962, regarding a reported UFO sighting in Santa Fe, Argentina. The incident allegedly occurred on August 18, 1961, at 11:00 PM on the 'Camino de la Costa' road. According to the account, a witness—described as a quiet, healthy individual—was driving when his vehicle, flashlight, and portable radio ceased functioning. Upon investigating a nearby light, he observed a flying saucer approximately 60 meters long and 30 meters high. He reported seeing 15 beings with white skin and blonde hair, wearing yellow or cream-colored suits and helmets with antennas covered in a snow-like substance. The beings were allegedly surrounded by a giant glass bubble and were seen pushing a laborer or tramp up a ladder into the craft. After the craft departed, leaving a multi-colored track of light, the witness's equipment reportedly resumed normal operation. The witness later sought a medical examination, which confirmed he was in perfect health. The letter was sent to the U.S. Air Force's Unidentified Flying Objects Office by an individual in Argentina who sought an opinion on the account and requested collaboration between his 'Department of Investigation' and local radio newsmen. The official evaluation on the record card dismisses the report as an 'obvious unreliable rpt' due to its second-hand nature, lack of tangible evidence, and numerous inconsistencies.
