This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an accompanying letter regarding a sighting in Fairfield, Connecticut, on June 25, 1963. The witness, who claims to have W.W.II Signal Corps ground observer and radar training as well as private pilot experience, reported observing a silent, elongated object with a pulsating white light at 4:06 AM. The object appeared in the western sky and moved toward the eastern horizon over Bridgeport, Connecticut, over a duration of approximately two minutes. The witness estimated the object's speed to be two to three times that of a satellite. The official conclusion recorded on the ATIC form is that the description of the flight is consistent with a conventional aircraft and that the sighting was a misinterpretation of such an object. The witness had written to the 'U.F.O. Research Project' at the Pentagon to request a check of high-altitude satellite flight plans for that time and location.
Nothing indicates that this is other than a normal misinterpretation of a conventional object (A/C).
