This document consists of a Project 10073 record and a corresponding letter regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon reported in Hillsboro, Oregon, on October 1, 1964. A civilian witness and their father reported observing an object while identifying stars in the clear morning sky. The object was described as being at an altitude of at least 20,000 feet, at an angle of 50 degrees, and traveling from the northwest to the southeast. The witness estimated the speed of the object to be at least that of an F-104 jet. The official military evaluation concluded that there was insufficient data to identify the object. The investigating agency, the Aerospace Studies Institute at Maxwell AFB, Alabama, noted that there were no visible passes for the ECHO I and II satellites at the time of the report, and the case was ultimately classified as having insufficient data for a definitive evaluation.
Object at 50 deg elevation in flight from NW to SE. Speed estimated at twice that of a jet and altitude at over 20,000'.
