Project 10073 Record — Sighting of 10 October 1965

This document is a Project 10073 record concerning an Unidentified Flying Object sighting reported on October 10, 1965, at 1200Z. The incident occurred at coordinates 46.09N 126.02W in the Pacific Ocean. The report was relayed through the West Port Coast Guard Station to the Naselle AFS and subsequently to the Wing Command Post. The observer, who remains unidentified, reported seeing two round, bright white objects that resembled stars. The objects were described as having no tail, trail, or exhaust, and they made no sound. The observer noted that the objects were initially stationary but then rose rapidly, with one object moving North and the other moving South at the time of disappearance. The official conclusion of the Air Force evaluation was that there was insufficient data to reach a definitive explanation. The report highlights conflicting information, specifically noting that the observer described the objects as stationary while simultaneously reporting that they rose and moved in opposite directions. The document includes detailed meteorological data for the area, noting a ceiling of 800 feet with low stratus clouds and visibility between 3 and 5 miles. No physical evidence was recovered, and no intercept action was taken. The report was processed by the 313th FIS at McChord AFB, Washington, and an advance copy was delivered to the Defense Intelligence Agency.
