Project 10073 Record Card and Incoming Message — Outlook, Montana, May 1964

On May 6, 1964, at approximately 0330Z, a civilian observer reported a sighting of an unidentified aerial phenomenon in the vicinity of Outlook and Opheim, Montana. The report was processed by the 91st Combat Support Group at Glasgow Air Force Base and forwarded to the Air Defense Command and other relevant military offices under the provisions of Air Force Regulation 200-2. The witness described the object as appearing similar to a star, specifically noting a yellowish color. The object's flight path was observed from east to west. The witness reported that the object initially appeared like a falling star, but then stopped and moved back and forth several times before disappearing to the west. The report explicitly notes that the reliability of the civilian observer was unknown. The Air Force's evaluation, documented on a Project 10073 record card, concluded that the information provided was insufficient for a complete evaluation. The investigators suggested that the object might have been the planet Venus, though this remained speculative due to the lack of comprehensive data. The documentation consists of a standard Project 10073 record card and the associated incoming military staff message.
