Project 10073 Record — Nebraska Missile Site, 2 September 1965

This document is a report from the Headquarters of the 90th Strategic Missile Wing (SAC) at Francis E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming, dated 20 September 1965. It serves as an addendum to a previous report from 6 August 1965 regarding Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). The report details several sightings observed by military personnel and civilians in the vicinity of missile launch facilities. One specific incident, recorded on a Project 10073 form, occurred on 2 September 1965 at a Nebraska Missile Site. In this instance, members of a Target Alignment Team observed an object for one hour and nine minutes. Using a theodolite, they identified the object as the planet Jupiter, noting that three of its moons were visible. The report also summarizes other sightings, including an object observed by a Staff Sergeant and neighbors near a Golf Launch facility, which was initially thought to be a saucer-shaped object but was later dismissed as a weather balloon. Another sighting involved eight civilians near Cheyenne who observed objects through a telescope. The report concludes that the personnel involved in these observations were generally well-trained in astronomy. The document includes maps plotting the locations of these sightings and the movements of the objects.
