Project 10073 Record Cards and Related Reports — San Jose, California, June 1963

This document contains Project 10073 record cards and associated teletype reports regarding two separate UFO sightings in San Jose, California, in June 1963. The first incident, occurring on 15 June 1963, involved a single, round, dull orange object observed for approximately 90 seconds. The witness, who claimed to be a qualified Army/Navy observer, reported the object moving from the south, turning west, and disappearing over the Pacific Ocean. The weather at the time was noted as having heavy haze. The military evaluation concluded that the description of the flight and duration was consistent with aircraft. The second incident occurred on 16 June 1963, where a round, starlike object was observed for 10 to 15 minutes, moving from the southwest to the northeast. The investigation into this second sighting determined that the object was the ECHO I satellite, which was positioned at an elevation of 65 degrees heading northeast at the time of the observation. The documentation includes teletype communications between the 682nd Radar Squadron at Almaden AFS and various Air Force commands, including the Foreign Technology Division and the Secretary of the Air Force, confirming the reporting procedures followed under AFR 200-2.
