This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and a supporting Joint Messageform regarding a UFO sighting reported on April 13, 1964. A 22-year-old student, located 22 miles north of Baltimore, Maryland, reported observing a light green, elliptical object at 0145Z. The witness observed the object for 15 minutes using binoculars, noting that it was climbing at an elevation of 70 to 80 degrees and moving from the northwest to the southeast before disappearing behind clouds. The witness had previously reported a similar sighting one year prior, which was subsequently identified as a satellite. The report was telephoned to Captain Frank B. Amado, the Base Operations Duty Officer at Andrews Air Force Base. Captain Amado concluded that the object was likely the Echo I satellite.
