This document contains a Project 10073 record card and associated correspondence regarding a UFO sighting reported by a civilian in Three Lakes, Wisconsin. On July 18, 1963, the witness, who was staying at the Bridgewood Cabins, observed a globular object at approximately 01:00 local time. The witness described the object as moving at the speed of a jet, crossing the path of their window, and flashing approximately 80 times. The witness noted that the object was too high to be a bird and too low to be the moon, and did not resemble any known aircraft or helicopters. The witness also mentioned that it was windy at the time, which made it difficult to determine if the object produced any sound. The report was forwarded by the Foreign Technology Division to Hq USAF SAF-OI 3b on July 31, 1963. A subsequent memorandum from Major Maston M. Jacks of the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force, dated August 12, 1963, confirms receipt of the letter and provides the witness with information regarding Project Blue Book. The official conclusion recorded on the project card states that the description of the flight and the flashing light was consistent with an analysis of an aircraft.
Witness believed object too high for bird, too low to be the moon, and did not look like helo or a/c which the observer has ever seen.
