UFO sighting in 1982 with satellite data

Summary

In August 1982, a sighting was recorded of an object that decreased its elevation angle from 40 to 20 degrees over ten minutes. The observation, made by military personnel, included no photographs or speed data, but the object shone like a star. Although no direction was reported, the comments suggest it could be a satellite. The lack of concrete data prevents a definitive evaluation, but the case is considered typical of satellite observations.

The information reached the U.S. Air Force and was distributed to multiple military units across the United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Asia. The report, part of Project 10073, did not conclude with an official evaluation, but points to an astronomical or satellite explanation. This type of record, while not solving the mystery, helps understand how UFO reports were handled during the Cold War.
