AI-Generated Summary
A civilian report from August 1965 describes a fast-moving, blinking light observed in Pierz, Minnesota. Project Blue Book officially classified the sighting as a meteor.
This document consists of a Project 10073 record and a corresponding letter from a civilian witness regarding an aerial sighting in Pierz, Minnesota, in August 1965. The witness, while performing evening chores with their father, observed an unusual light moving swiftly across the sky. The witness described the object as appearing near the constellation Draco and fading out near Cassiopeia. The object was noted to be moving faster than any satellite the witness had previously seen, and it exhibited a 'fluttering' or blinking effect, alternating between bright and dim states at a rate of two to four times per second. Despite the speed of the object, no sound was heard. The witness explicitly stated they did not believe it was an airplane, as it would have needed to be too close to the ground to maintain such speed. The official conclusion recorded by the Project Blue Book Information Office categorized the sighting as an 'Astro (Meteor)'.
It 'fluttered' or blinked swiftly, about three or four times a second. It would become bright, then dim, then bright again.
