UFO Sighting Report — Wyandotte, Michigan, February 1965

This document contains a series of correspondence and a formal sighting report regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed by a 14-year-old amateur astronomer in Wyandotte, Michigan, on February 2, 1965. The witness reported observing a blue-white, round object with a highly polished metal surface moving in a west-east direction, which disappeared instantly near the constellation Gemini. The witness, who expressed a strong interest in astronomy, initially reported the sighting to the Air Force and subsequently sent multiple follow-up letters expressing frustration over the delay in receiving an official response. The Air Force, through Project Blue Book, investigated the report and concluded that the object was the ECHO I satellite. Official correspondence from Major Maston M. Jacks and Lt. Colonel John P. Spaulding confirmed this identification, noting that the object's trajectory through the constellations Cassiopeia and Gemini was consistent with the satellite's path, and that the witness's report of an eastward movement was likely a misinterpretation of its actual southeast trajectory. The file includes the original sighting questionnaire, the witness's hand-drawn sketches of the object's path, and the subsequent administrative correspondence between the witness and the Air Force.
