Project 10073 Record Card — Sioux Narrows, Ontario, August 1960

This document collection details a UFO sighting reported by a civilian in Sioux Narrows, Ontario, Canada, on August 25, 1960. The witness observed a bright object at the zenith, which traveled on a 105-degree course before disappearing behind a tree. The witness noted that the object appeared to be 75% as bright as Jupiter and moved too fast to be the Echo satellite. The observation lasted approximately one and a half minutes. The witness initially contacted the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) regarding the event. NASA, through James A. Hootman, Secretary of the Inventions and Contributions Board, forwarded the correspondence to the Air Tactical Intelligence Center (ATIC) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base on February 10, 1961. The ATIC record card for Project 10073 notes that while the sighting occurred in August 1960, the report was not received until February 1961. The official conclusion reached by the Air Force was that the significant time lapse between the event and the receipt of the report rendered a formal investigation impossible. Consequently, the case was closed with the determination that there was insufficient data for a valid evaluation.
