This document is a Project 10073 record detailing a UFO sighting that occurred on April 6, 1966, in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. The witness, a student and co-op weather observer for the Milwaukee Weather Bureau, reported observing a single, bright white light with a magnitude of approximately -2 or -3. The object appeared larger than Venus or Jupiter and traveled in a straight line from the zenith to the horizon over a period of 3 to 5 seconds. The witness estimated the object's speed at Mach 2 or 3 and its altitude between 4,000 and 6,000 feet M.S.L., though they noted a potential error due to an overcast alto-cumulus layer at 6,000 to 8,000 feet. No sound, trail, tail, or exhaust was reported. The official conclusion reached by the project was that the object was an 'Astro (METEOR)'.
