Project 10073 Record Card and Incoming Message — Kansas City, Missouri, September 1962

This document consists of a Project 10073 Record Card and an associated Air Force incoming message regarding a UFO sighting in Kansas City on September 20, 1962. Two witnesses, both employed as postal clerks, reported observing a round or oval object, yellow or amber in color, descending from 3,000 to 2,000 feet. The object was described as resembling satellite decay, moving in a straight path from the southwest to the northwest before disintegrating into small pieces of burning light. The observation lasted approximately five minutes. The Air Force investigation concluded that the report was likely a hoax. The evaluation noted that the timing of the sighting occurred two weeks after the decay of Sputnik IV. Furthermore, investigators found it improbable that such an event would be witnessed by only two people in a large city without any other reports from the public or air traffic. The report explicitly mentions the possibility of collusion between the two witnesses and suggests the incident might fall into the 'Moon Duet' category of reports.
