AI-Generated Summary
A 1961 UAP sighting report from Chelveston, England, involving an orange and white object observed for 90 seconds. The investigation concluded there was insufficient data to identify the object, ruling out both meteors and satellites.
This document consists of a Project 10073 Record Card and an associated military priority cable regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed on March 15, 1961, near Chelveston, England. The sighting occurred at 0315Z and lasted for approximately 90 seconds. The witness reported a single object, orange and white in color, which exhibited no tail and made no sound. The object was observed traveling in a west-north-west (WNW) direction. The report was processed by the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) and referenced under file number K243.6012-1. The military cable, originating from the 36th Tactical Reconnaissance Wing at RAF Alconbury, confirms the details of the sighting and notes that the report was received via the 'Moon Dust' program. The official evaluation recorded on the card states that the duration of the sighting was too long to be a meteor and that the trajectory was incorrect for a satellite. Consequently, the case was marked as having insufficient data for a definitive evaluation. The document was later declassified, with a cancellation of classification noted on May 12, 1967.
