AI-Generated Summary
A sighting of a 'fast moving star' in the Atlantic on March 28, 1963, was reported by the USCG C MCCULLOCH. ATIC evaluated the incident as a possible satellite due to the limited information provided.
This document consists of a Project 10073 Record Card and several associated Naval Messages regarding a UFO sighting reported on March 28, 1963. The sighting occurred at 2150Z at coordinates 35.00N 48.00W in the Atlantic Ocean. The witness, aboard the USCG C MCCULLOCH, described the object as a 'fast moving star' that was heading at 060 degrees with an initial altitude of 62 degrees. The report notes that the bearing remained constant while the elevation decreased to 15 degrees. The sighting was reported via multiple naval messages, which were identified as duplicate reports (AF IN 9710, 9712, and 9757). The ATIC evaluation concluded that because the sighting contained limited information and lacked duration data, it was consistent with previous reports of this nature and was evaluated as a possible satellite. The documentation includes a page of satellite tracking data tables for March 1963, likely used to support this conclusion.
