UFO sighted in the Pacific in 1964

Summary

This 1964 document describes a sighting of an unidentified object in the Pacific. A military observer reported a very bright white object moving at high altitude. The sighting lasted six minutes, and the object was seen transiting from 190 degrees to 010 degrees, maintaining an altitude of 70 degrees. Although it was considered a possible satellite, no additional details could be confirmed. The report mentions that the object left no physical evidence and no photos were taken.

The report was classified under Project 10073 and distributed to various military units and intelligence agencies. Despite being ruled out as a satellite, the report offers no conclusive explanation. The observer could not identify the object, and its speed and trajectory could not be precisely determined. This case is an example of how UFO reports were handled during the Cold War, with a focus on security and coordination between different military branches.
