Project 10073 Record — Fresno, California, 8 August 1965

This document contains a Project 10073 record regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon reported by a constituent of Congressman B. F. Sisk in Fresno, California, on August 8, 1965. The witness, an attorney and businessman, reported observing an object at 2345 hours that appeared unusually red. The object was later observed through a rifle telescope, revealing multiple lights on one side and a pulsing effect. The witness noted the object moved at the speed of a satellite but in a direction inconsistent with satellite movement. The Air Force concluded that there was insufficient data for a firm evaluation, noting that no major star or planet was in the southwest at the time of the observation. The file includes correspondence between Congressman Sisk and the Secretary of the Air Force, Harold Brown, as well as a letter from the witness detailing the observation. The Air Force provided the Congressman with copies of FTD Form 164 for the witness to complete, though the form was never returned.
