Project 10073 Record Card — Seattle, Washington, 17 Sep 63

This document contains a collection of records regarding a UFO sighting reported by a civilian in Seattle, Washington, on September 17, 1963. The witness, residing on a houseboat, observed two objects in the sky between 10:00 PM and 10:15 PM. The witness described the objects as having a constant light, similar in color and size to stars, and noted that they appeared to move in opposite directions without making any sound. The witness initially feared a collision but observed them pass each other without incident. The witness also noted that they had observed a falling star after the objects disappeared. The report was forwarded by the 325th Combat Support Group at McChord AFB to the Secretary of the Air Force under the provisions of AFR 200-2. The Air Force investigation concluded that the first object was likely an aircraft, while the second object was identified as the Echo satellite, which was confirmed to be in the vicinity of Seattle at the time of the sighting. The file includes a hand-drawn sketch by the witness illustrating the flight paths of the objects, as well as a note regarding a separate observation made by a friend of the witness on September 7, 1963, involving two objects that the friend believed were satellites.
