This document consists of a Project 1007 record card and associated memorandum regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon sighting reported by the Navy's CINCLANT Fleet on May 16, 1961. The sighting occurred at 0531Z at coordinates 43° 46' N, 37° 00' W in the Atlantic. The report describes the observation of two objects, characterized as white blinking lights. The estimated flight parameters for the objects included a course of 217°, a speed of Mach 1, and an altitude of 30,000 feet. A witness or observer noted that the objects were 'not a star.' The official record card, produced by the Department of the Air Force and evaluated by ATIC, indicates that no photographs were taken and no radar contact was established. The final conclusion recorded on the card states that there is insufficient data to reach a definitive evaluation, noting that the report contains very little information upon which to base a conclusion beyond the fact that two objects were observed.
This report contains very little info on which to base a conclusion, only that 2 UFO's were observed.
