AI-Generated Summary
A military aircraft reported an unidentified white blinking light in the Pacific on December 16, 1963. The object moved rapidly from West to East for 15 seconds and was officially classified as UNIDENTIFIED.
On December 16, 1963, at 1705Z, a military aircraft reported an unidentified aerial phenomenon in the Pacific region at coordinates 40.00N 174.54W. The sighting consisted of a single white light that was observed blinking two to three times per second. The object was visible for approximately 15 seconds as it performed a rapid transit across the sky from West to East. The altitude of the object remained unknown. The report was processed as a CIRVIS (Communication Instructions for Reporting Vital Intelligence Sightings) report. Official analysis noted that the rapid transit across a considerable arc suggested the object was at a significant altitude. Because the reporting aircraft could not provide further details such as intensity or manner of disappearance, and because the object did not fit into any known category of sightings, the case was officially classified as UNIDENTIFIED.
