This document consists of a series of military communications regarding a CIRVIS (Communication Instructions for Reporting Vital Intelligence Sightings) report filed on November 29, 1965. The initial report originated from the CGC PONTCHARTRAIN, which observed a bright, starlike object at a high altitude at position 35N 148°. The object was described as being surrounded by an aurora-like light, with a course estimated at 248 degrees true, and it was noted to have risen from 060 degrees true. Following the report, the 32nd Air Division conducted an evaluation. They concluded that the sighting posed no threat and was likely a missile launch from Vandenberg, noting that the time frames and observed phenomena correlated with such an event. Handwritten notes on the document indicate a communication between a Sergeant Mury and a Colonel Fredericks at Vandenberg regarding an Atlas D launch to Kwajalein, further supporting the conclusion that the sighting was a military operation.
