This document consists of a Project 10073 Record Card and a follow-up letter regarding a UFO sighting reported by two civilians in Concord, North Carolina. On October 2, 1963, the witnesses observed a bright, star-like object in the sky. They reported that the object moved faster than an aircraft, made no sound, and eventually traveled straight up before disappearing. The witnesses wrote to the U.S. Air Force requesting information on 'flying saucers.' In a response dated October 10, 1963, Major Maston M. Jacks of the USAF Public Information Division informed the witnesses that their observation was almost certainly the Echo satellite, which had passed over the Concord and Charlotte area at approximately 3:04 p.m. on the date in question. The Air Force provided the witnesses with brochures on unidentified aerial phenomena as a courtesy. The record card confirms the official conclusion that the object was a satellite (ECHO).
