Project 1073 Record Card

This document is not a pulp magazine but rather a U.S. Air Force UFO incident report (ATIC Form 329, dated December 13, 1958) concerning unidentified aerial phenomena sightings. The record documents multiple witness accounts from military personnel near Little Rock, Arkansas on December 5, 1958. Witnesses describe a bright light flash across the sky approximately seven miles distant, lasting about 43 seconds before apparently exploding like a fireworks rocket. One observer noted the object as approximately 200 feet long, narrow, and white, traveling horizontally in a straight line. Another airman reported a bright red light to the east, visible for 25 seconds, moving slightly toward the horizon. The sighting occurred during clear weather with good visibility. The document includes investigative notes, witness statements, and concludes with observations marked as "probably balloon" among classification options, though OCR degradation obscures complete analysis details.
