On February 20, 1964, at 210815Z, three observers aboard a Navy EC121K aircraft (Navy 43207) reported a UFO sighting at coordinates 33.30N 177.40W. The object was observed at an 80-degree elevation, moving in an easterly direction at a very high speed. The observers estimated the intensity of the object to be that of a first-magnitude star. The incident was reported via a CIRVIS report under JANAP 146D protocols. The sighting was subsequently documented on a Project 10073 record card. Official evaluation of the event concluded that the object was a possible satellite, noting that the speed, direction, and description were in conformity with satellite analysis. It was further noted that ECHO data was not available for the case. The report was distributed to various military commands, including CINCPAC, CINCNORAD, and the CIA.
