Possible satellite seen by crew in 1963

Summary

In November 1963, four crew members of an EC-121K aircraft reported a very bright object in the Pacific sky. The object, moving eastward, was described as having the brightness of a first-magnitude star. Although no photos were taken, the observers noted its high altitude, suggesting a possible satellite.

Military authorities considered several possibilities, including balloons, aircraft, or astronomical phenomena, but ultimately concluded it was a satellite. The sighting was officially recorded and shared with multiple agencies, including the CIA and DIA, reflecting the interest in unidentified objects at the time. Despite the lack of additional data, the detailed description and the object's altitude make this an intriguing case in UFO history.
