UFO seen over the Pacific in 1963

Summary

In December 1963, an airborne observer reported a bright white object moving from west to east over the Pacific. The light had the brightness of a second-magnitude star, suggesting a clearly visible but not extremely bright source. Although no photographs or radar data were recorded, the report classifies the phenomenon as likely a satellite. However, the lack of additional data leaves other explanations open. The message was distributed to multiple military and intelligence agencies, reflecting institutional interest in such sightings.
