AI-Generated Summary
A 1954 sighting report from Pasadena, California, describes a silent, red, non-blinking object moving with irregular motion. The official military assessment concluded the object was an aircraft.
This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an accompanying letter dated June 14, 1954, regarding a sighting in East Pasadena, California. On the evening of June 11, 1954, at approximately 9:00 PM, a witness and her husband observed a red object flying at a speed comparable to an airplane. The witnesses reported that the object did not leave a vapor trail and lacked blinking lights. During the observation, the object appeared to sway back and forth. When it moved away from the witnesses, it exhibited an irregular motion, described as moving, stopping, and then moving again. The witnesses explicitly stated that the object made no noise. A few minutes later, they observed a plane traveling in the same direction, which did leave a vapor trail, suggesting it might have been following the object. The official conclusion recorded on the ATIC form is that the object was an aircraft, with the comment that there was nothing conflicting with this analysis.
WHEN IT MOVED AWAY FROM US IT SEEMED TO SWAY BACK AND FORTH. WHEN IT MOVED TOWARDS US IT WAS WITH AN IRREGULAR MOTION, SEEMING TO MOVE THEN STOP, MOVE THEN STOP.
