Project 10073 Record Card and Air Intelligence Information Report — Pontiac, Michigan, 29 August 1960

This document consists of a Project 10073 Record Card and an Air Intelligence Information Report (IR-2-60) regarding a UFO sighting that occurred on 29 August 1960 near Pontiac, Michigan. The primary observer was a woman identified only as Mrs. [illegible], who was fishing at Green Green Lake at the time of the incident. She reported observing a bright, rapidly moving object traveling from South to North, which reversed its direction several times. The object was estimated to be at an elevation of 45 degrees above the horizon. The report notes that the sighting was initially telephoned to higher headquarters (30 ADiv) and that standard reporting procedures were not followed, resulting in a delay in the formal intelligence assessment. The information was passed through a complex chain of command, including the Senior Director of Chicago ADS, the Detroit ARTCC, and a member of the Civil Air Patrol named Mr. [illegible]. The official conclusion reached by the Intelligence Division at Hq Chicago ADS is that a valid determination regarding the nature of the object cannot be made due to a lack of sufficient information. However, the report suggests a possible correlation with the Echo I satellite. The document is signed by Brigadier General Kenneth H. Gibson and prepared by TSGT George A. Packard, with additional remarks provided by Captain Stephen M. Flanagan, Chief of the Intelligence Division.
