Summary

In March 1966, a sighting of an unidentified flying object was recorded over the Atlantic. Although the exact duration of the observation was not reported, it was noted that the object was seen at an altitude of 100 units, with an unknown speed. The report, part of Project 10073, did not include details about the object's course or the number of observers, but photographs were taken. Despite the lack of information, it was considered that there was enough data for evaluation. This document, though brief, is an example of how sightings were recorded at the time, with limited but significant details.

The report was sent to several military and intelligence units, including the NORAD Air Command and the U.S. Air Force Department. The exact location of the sighting was recorded as 18°28'N and 66°07'W in the Atlantic. Although the object was not identified, the fact that photographs were taken and the case was deemed evaluable suggests that the incident was treated with some seriousness. This type of record, though incomplete, helps to understand how authorities handled UFO reports in the 1960s.
