AI-Generated Summary
A civilian in Portland, Oregon, reported a 10-minute sighting of a grapefruit-sized, white, round object on February 27, 1961. The military investigation concluded that the information was too limited to reach a valid conclusion.
This document consists of a Project 10073 Record Card and a corresponding teletype message regarding a UFO sighting that occurred in Portland, Oregon, on February 27, 1961. A civilian witness reported observing a single, round, white object, described as being the size of a grapefruit. The object appeared at an elevation of 45 degrees and followed a varied flight path over a duration of approximately 10 minutes. The witness reported that the object would climb and dim, then descend and brighten, eventually disappearing into what the witness described as 'outer space'. The official record card notes that the object's position upon disappearance was unknown to the witness and that the information provided was too limited to reach a valid conclusion. The teletype message, sent from Portland ADS Adair AFS to ATIC WPAFB, confirms the details of the sighting and includes a reference to 'MOONDUST' for intelligence purposes. The document was later declassified, with the classification cancelled on May 12, 1966, by an individual named Juntanilla.
