This document contains a Project 10073 record regarding a UFO sighting reported by a civilian in Tyler, Texas, on June 6, 1966. The witness observed two star-like objects moving east at approximately 8:55 p.m. The witness described the objects as moving as fast as a jet at an estimated altitude of 30,000 feet. One object was smaller and traveled on the south side of the larger object, eventually drawing closer, lagging behind, and moving to the north side before disappearing from sight. The witness, who noted having an interest in heavenly phenomena and a collection of articles on UFOs, expressed amazement at the event. The official Air Force conclusion, signed by Colonel Eric T. de Jonckheere and coordinated by Major H. Quintanilla, Jr., determined that the description was consistent with aircraft flying at high altitude with sunlight reflecting off the fuselage. A formal response was prepared for the witness, thanking her for her interest in Air Force matters.
No emotional circumstance, just awed-amazement, and interested.
