This document consists of a Project 10073 record and an accompanying letter from a civilian witness regarding a UFO sighting in Boca Raton, Florida. The witness, who identifies as a fourteen-year-old amateur astronomer, reports that on November 8, 1964, at approximately 3:30 P.M. E.S.T., he and a friend named 'Paul' observed a V-formation of tiny lights while using a 2.4-inch refractor telescope. The witness describes the object as glowing with a blue-white light and moving in a 'graceful glide' from one horizon to the other in less than three seconds, with absolutely no sound. The witness expresses skepticism regarding official government statements about UFOs and questions how such objects could bypass DEW (Distant Early Warning) equipment. The official conclusion recorded by the Air Force on the Project 10073 form states that because the sighting occurred at such a late date, it was practically impossible to perform a comprehensive evaluation, and therefore, no further investigation was warranted.
The object crossed from one horizon to the other horizon in less than three seconds, if not faster(more like two seconds, but it is different to estimate such short amounts of time) and it was not jerkey in motion, more like a graceful glide. There was absolutly no sound what so ever.
