Summary

In May 1956, a civilian in Hollywood reported seeing an aerial object the size of a dime with a blue-white color. The object disappeared into the hills without a trace. Although the witness did not take photos, the sighting was reported by a civilian and no precise data on the duration or direction of the object was recorded. Due to the lack of concrete information, Air Force officers concluded the case had no value for further investigation. The officer in charge noted that the reported size was impossible to evaluate and recommended no further action.

The report was classified under Project 10073 and sent to various air intelligence units, including Wright-Patterson AFB and Norton AFB. Despite the witness being a scriptwriter for movies, no clear explanation for the sighting was found. Ultimately, the case was closed as "possibly an aircraft," but with insufficient data for a definitive evaluation.
