UFO reported as satellite in the Pacific

Summary

In June 1963, an observer reported a bright object in the Pacific that appeared like a first magnitude star. It was believed to be a satellite, but the available information was insufficient. The sighting occurred at 47 degrees elevation, with a course of 340 degrees. However, the duration of the observation was not reported, nor was any retrograde in orbit, which raised doubts about the satellite identification. Contradictory data led to the case being classified as insufficient for a conclusive evaluation.
