Project 10073 Record Card and Related Correspondence — Foreman, Arkansas, May 1962

This document contains the official U.S. Air Force record of a UFO sighting reported by a 12-year-old girl in Foreman, Arkansas, on May 3, 1962. The witness observed a white light in the sky shortly after sunset. She initially believed the object to be a satellite, but changed her mind after observing it move in a fast, jerky manner, dimming and brightening before finally blacking out. The sighting lasted approximately two minutes. The report includes a completed technical information sheet, a summary data sheet, and internal military communications between the 825th Air Division at Little Rock Air Force Base and the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The military investigation, conducted under the guidelines of AFR 200-2, concluded that the sighting was likely a reflection of the sun from a high-flying aircraft, noting that the event occurred shortly after local sunset. The report also mentions that meteor showers are common in the region during that time of year, though the reflection theory remained the primary explanation.
