This document contains records from the 6592D Support Group regarding a UFO sighting reported on 2 October 1965 in South San Gabriel, California. A civilian observer reported seeing three objects, including one described as a 'mother ship', which were observed maneuvering for over an hour. The observer, who used binoculars, reported that the objects changed colors and emitted a 'humming' sound. The report notes that the observer was excited during the call and that a second individual was present who also witnessed the objects. Despite attempts by the 6592D Support Group to contact the observer for further details, these efforts were unsuccessful. The official conclusion recorded on the Project 10073 form states that the sighting was characteristic of star reports, noting that the lack of positional data made it impossible to identify the specific objects. The document includes an extract from the Staff Duty Officer's report, which also references an unrelated sighting from 1 October 1965 involving a student in Los Angeles.
One appeared to be 'Mother Ship', manuvering all over the area for more than 1 hour.
