AI-Generated Summary
A pilot reported a white, star-shaped object over Greenland on April 21, 1964. The military investigation concluded the object was likely a satellite, though satellite schedules were unavailable for confirmation.
This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated incoming staff messages regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon sighting on April 21, 1964, over Greenland. A pilot observed a single, white, star-shaped object for approximately five minutes at dusk. The observation was made from an aircraft positioned above the clouds. The pilot initially reported the object's flight path as moving from the northeast to the southwest. However, internal military communications and the record card analysis indicate that the motion might have been misinterpreted due to the observer's own heading and the object's azimuth of 240 degrees. It was suggested that the object could have been moving southeast rather than southwest. The pilot concluded that the object was a satellite. The report notes that relevant satellite schedules were not available at the time of the evaluation. The sighting was reported through military channels, including COMBARFORLANT and the 26th NORAD Region, and was classified as unclassified.

Official Assessment
Pilot evaluates as satellite.
The object was observed by a pilot at dusk over Greenland. While initially reported as moving from NE to SW, subsequent analysis suggested the motion could have been interpreted as moving away from the observer with a westerly component, and the object may have been moving SE instead. The pilot believed the object was a satellite.
