This document consists of a Project 10073 Record Card and an associated teletype message regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon reported on March 7, 1961, near Pouce Coupe, British Columbia. A 27-year-old survey worker reported observing a small, white, doughnut-shaped object at approximately 0808 local time. The witness described the object as traveling north on the same track as a B-47 aircraft before breaking off to the west and disappearing from sight. The observation lasted for approximately four minutes under clear weather conditions with high visibility. The military report, filed by Captain Paul O. Geske of the 919th ACW Squadron, notes that while the object appeared to be performing an interception on a B-47, there was no radar contact made with the object. The official conclusion reached by the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) was that the report provided insufficient data for a definitive evaluation, noting that while the object might have been an aircraft, only B-47s were reported in the area at the time. The report is categorized as 'Insufficient Data, One Witness.'
