AI-Generated Summary

TL;DR

A civilian reported an egg-shaped white object in Reynoldsville, PA, on June 22, 1963. The Air Force concluded the incident had insufficient data, suggesting it was likely an ECHO satellite or an aircraft.

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and a corresponding letter from a civilian witness regarding a UFO sighting in Reynoldsville, Pennsylvania, on the night of June 22, 1963. The witness, who was observing the stars with a telescope alongside a friend, reported seeing a bright, egg-shaped white object appear in the west. The witness initially believed the object to be a satellite, but noted that it stopped moving completely before continuing in a northerly direction and disappearing over trees toward the northeast. The Air Force investigation concluded that the object was most likely an ECHO satellite, though the lack of a recorded time for the sighting made a definitive evaluation impossible. The investigators suggested that the reported 'stopping' of the object was likely an illusion caused by atmospheric conditions. In the absence of a confirmed satellite identification, the report notes that the object was likely an aircraft, but ultimately classifies the incident as having insufficient data for a conclusive analysis.

After it started again it turned to the north and went over the trees in a Northerly direction.

Official Assessment

Most likely ECHO, however, without time no evaluation can be made. Stopping attributed to illusion due to atmospheric or other conditions. If not ECHO, then probably A/C. Insufficient data for analysis.

The object was likely an ECHO satellite, though the lack of a specific time of sighting prevents a definitive evaluation. The observed stopping behavior was attributed to atmospheric illusion.
