AI-Generated Summary
A 1960 sighting report from Holberg Air Station describes a red, flickering light observed for 54 seconds. The military investigation concluded there was insufficient data to identify the object, though it was noted that the movement pattern did not match aircraft.
This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an accompanying military message (NBR 5561) detailing an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UFOB) sighting reported on June 22, 1960, over North Vancouver Island, Canada. The witness, L.A.C.E. Dxiepak, stationed at Holberg Air Station, reported observing a red, flickering light for 54 seconds. The object was described as being the size of the North Star, appearing northwest of the Big Dipper, and traveling in a northwest to southeast direction before fading near the star Alioth. The witness reported no sound and no radar contact. The Sector Intelligence Officer reviewed the report and noted that the object's movement in a short period of time effectively eliminated the possibility of it being an aircraft. The officer suggested it could be a 'failing star,' while also noting that the reporting pattern followed 'Moon Dust' predictions. Ultimately, the official conclusion reached was that there was insufficient data to make a definitive evaluation, particularly because the witness incorrectly identified the location of the star Alioth relative to the Milky Way. The document was originally classified but later had its classification cancelled in 1969.
Arc traveled in short period of time eliminates aircraft, possible failing star. Pattern in part follows "MOON DUST" predictions.

Official Assessment
Insufficient Data. Alioth is a star in the Big Dipper and not in the Milky Way. Without the location and speed of the object no evaluation can be made.
The object was initially identified as a red flickering light near the star Alioth. The Sector Intelligence Officer noted that the arc traveled in a short period of time eliminated aircraft, suggesting a possible failing star, and noted the pattern followed 'Moon Dust' predictions.
