Project 10073 Record Card — Vejle, Jutland, Denmark, 3 December 1958

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated teletype communications regarding a UFO sighting reported in Vejle, Jutland, Denmark, on December 3, 1958. A civilian witness, identified as an amateur astronomer, reported observing a very bright light in the sky moving from South to East for a duration of approximately three minutes. The observation was made at 031353Z. The witness, along with his wife, provided a detailed account of the object's position, noting it was seven degrees above the horizon. The report was telephoned from Jutland to Copenhagen and subsequently forwarded to the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The military assessment concluded that the object was a satellite carrier, noting that the observation occurred within three minutes of the expected crossing of 'Delta One.' The report acknowledges that while the office could not independently evaluate the sighting, the witness's status as an amateur astronomer made him less likely to report a fantasy. The document also notes that while Copenhagen was overcast at the time, making photographic observations impossible, the report was considered of possible interest.
