Summary

In August 1958, a witness reported an unidentified object over the Atlantic, north of the Azores. It was described as a white pulsating light appearing every eight seconds and moving at great speed. Although estimated to be at a high altitude, its exact height could not be determined. The report, part of project 1007332, failed to identify the object as a balloon, aircraft, or astronomical phenomenon due to insufficient data. The observation was recorded by a single witness, limiting the possibility of cross-verification.

The pulsating light suggested an aircraft's running light, but the information was not enough for a conclusive evaluation. The report was classified as "insufficient for evaluation," and no definitive conclusion was reached. Despite this, the case remains an example of how observers at the time tried to understand phenomena that still raise questions today.
