Project 10073 Record Card — Seattle, Washington, 6 November 1960

This document is a Project 10073 record card and associated teletype communication regarding a civilian sighting of two unidentified aerial objects in Seattle, Washington, on November 6, 1960. The witness reported observing two white, circular objects positioned one above the other, which they described as being the size of a street light and appearing to have a 'bunch of rings around it.' The objects were observed to maneuver, fade, and brighten during the sighting. The witness, who was located at 46th Avenue South and Chicago in Seattle, reported the incident to the Coast Guard. The teletype communication, dated November 7, 1960, provides additional details, noting that the witness was in a house at the time of the observation and that visibility was affected by thin fog. The official conclusion reached by the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) was that the objects were not anomalous, but rather the planet Saturn. The report states that the position of the planet matched the witness's account and that the observed characteristics and maneuvers were consistent with what would be expected when viewing the planet.
