AI-Generated Summary
A radar contact on May 18, 1964, was tracked for 39 minutes in the Far East. Military authorities officially classified the event as an aircraft report rather than a UFO sighting.
On May 18, 1964, a series of military communications documented a radar contact identified as an aircraft. The incident, occurring in the Far East at coordinates 34.00N 164.00E, was tracked by radar for 39 minutes, between 0200Z and 0239Z. The target was observed at ranges between 29 and 70 miles, with bearings ranging from 280 to 330 degrees. The report noted that the aircraft maneuvered and was traveling at a speed of approximately 150 knots. The radar tracking was complicated by heavy radar interference. Multiple military commands, including the 326th Air Division at Kunia, Hawaii, and various Pacific fleet and command centers, were notified of the contact. The official conclusion recorded on the Project 10073 record card explicitly states that this was an aircraft report and not a UFO report. Subsequent messages amplified the initial report, noting that the aircraft faded from the radar scope at 0239Z while on a course of 290 degrees at a range of 68 miles.
