This document contains records regarding a UFO sighting that occurred on October 24, 1963, in Cupar Fife, Scotland. Two witnesses, a brother and sister, observed an unidentified object in the sky. Initially, the witnesses believed the object was an aircraft because they heard the sound of engines. The object continued moving until it reached the star Procyon, at which point it disappeared. The witnesses provided a detailed report, including a hand-drawn map of the object's path relative to the stars. The Foreign Technology Division of the U.S. Air Force evaluated the report and concluded that the object remained unidentified. Due to the high quality of the witnesses' presentation, the Air Force included the sighting as an example in a public brochure regarding the Unidentified Flying Object program. Correspondence from Major Maston M. Jacks to the witnesses confirms that the Air Force was unable to identify the object and expresses appreciation for the report.
