AI-Generated Summary
A 1964 CIRVIS report documents a high-speed, star-bright object observed in the Pacific. The Air Force evaluated the object as a possible satellite, though definitive confirmation was unavailable.
On March 16, 1964, at 0645Z, a CIRVIS (Communication Instructions for Reporting Vital Intelligence Sightings) report was filed regarding an unidentified object observed in the Pacific region at coordinates 34.30N 176.30W. The object was described as having the brightness of a first magnitude star and was observed at a 70-degree elevation, traveling East at a very high speed. The sighting was documented on a Project 10073 Record Card and subsequently transmitted via a Department of the Air Force staff message. The military assessment of the event concluded that the object was a possible satellite. However, the report noted that ECHO satellite schedules were not available at the time of evaluation to confirm this hypothesis. The message was distributed to various military commands, including CINCPACAF, CINCNORAD, and the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, and was also readdressed to the CIA.
