Project 10073 Record and Staff Duty Officer's Report — 1 October 1965

This document consists of a Project 10073 record and supporting correspondence regarding a UFO sighting reported on 1 October 1965 in Los Angeles, California. A 15-year-old student observed a single object at 1910 hours. The witness described the object as appearing like a star that was moving rapidly in an arc toward the North-Northeast at a very high altitude. The observation lasted for approximately five minutes and was conducted using binoculars. The witness remarked that the object moved 'faster than anything I ever saw.' The report was processed by the 6592D Support Group at the Los Angeles Air Force Station and forwarded to the Air Force Systems Command (FTD) at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. The official conclusion reached by the evaluating agency was that the object was a 'Probable SATELLITE.' The document also includes an extract from a Staff Duty Officer's report, which mentions a second, separate report from the same date involving three objects observed over South San Gabriel, though the primary focus of the Project 10073 record is the Los Angeles sighting.
