AI-Generated Summary

TL;DR

A civilian in Lansing, Michigan, reported a fast-moving, bright object on June 5, 1964. Investigators concluded it was likely an aircraft, noting that the reported path did not match the ECHO I satellite.

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and a Michigan State Police case supervision sheet regarding a UFO sighting on June 5, 1964, in Lansing, Michigan. A civilian witness reported observing a single object that appeared to be the size of a large star but significantly brighter. The object was described as traveling extremely fast in a Northwesterly direction. The witness observed the object for approximately one minute before it disappeared, as if someone had turned off a light. The witness noted that there were no clouds in the sky and that the object appeared to be much higher and faster than any airplane. The Michigan State Police case notes corroborate this, adding that the witness reported the object was much higher than any airplane and made no sound. The official evaluation on the Project 10073 record card notes that the ECHO I satellite was over Lansing at the time of the sighting; however, the reported trajectory of the object was inconsistent with the satellite's path. Consequently, the official conclusion recorded is that it was a probable aircraft sighting.

Disappeared as though someone turned off light.
