AI-Generated Summary
A United Airlines pilot reported a brief, 3-second sighting of a rectangular object over Nebraska in 1964. The Air Technical Intelligence Center concluded the report contained insufficient data for identification.
This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated correspondence regarding a UFO sighting reported on June 18, 1964. A United Airlines pilot reported observing an object while flying 150 miles east of O'Neill, Nebraska. The witness described the object as having a vertical descent, appearing rectangular in shape, and being approximately half the size of a 707 fuselage. The observation lasted for about three seconds at an elevation of 30 degrees before the object disappeared into a haze layer. The pilot noted no fire or smoke trail and confirmed the object was not picked up on local radar. The report was initially submitted to H.E. Roth of the Denver Moonwatch team and subsequently forwarded to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, which then transmitted the information to the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The official conclusion recorded on the card is that the case provided insufficient data for a definitive identification.
Large enough to determine rectangular shape. No evidence of fire or smoketrail. Not picked up on local radar.
