San Antonio, TexasSeptember 1957

Unidentified

Summary

On September 14, 1957, at about 0045 (Greenwich time) in San Antonio, Texas, a witness saw seven circular blue-white objects through a six-power telescope. Two were about the size of a large pinhead. The other five looked like specks of light. The objects drifted slowly to the west but apart from one another, then faded from sight. The sighting lasted about five minutes. The weather was clear. The card notes that without elevation and azimuth data the report could not be fully evaluated. The Air Force record card for Project 10073, its official record for unidentified flying object reports, did not give a firm cause.
