A civilian reported a star-like object trailing smoke in Frankfort, Kentucky, on January 29, 1964. The Air Force closed the case as having insufficient data for evaluation.
This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated correspondence regarding a UFO sighting in Frankfort, Kentucky, on January 29, 1964. A civilian witness wrote to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara describing an object that appeared like a star moving in the sky. The witness reported that the object approached rapidly, and after the witness stepped inside to call a friend, the object was observed trailing smoke before disappearing quickly. The witness also noted a previous sighting in late October involving a brilliant star-like object. The Air Force, through Major Maston M. Jacks of the Public Information Division, responded on February 12, 1964, stating that it was difficult to evaluate the report without further details such as size, shape, color, direction, elevation, and exact time. The Air Force noted that similar reports typically resulted in evaluations of meteors or high-flying aircraft. The official record card concludes that the case was carried as having insufficient data for evaluation.

Official Assessment
It is difficult to evaluate what the object or objects were that you saw without additional details such as description or size, shape or color, direction and elevation, and exact time and location. However, previous reports of this nature which were investigated by the Air Force have almost invariably resulted in an evaluation of a meteor or a high-flying aircraft.
The case was carried as insufficient data due to a lack of essential information.
