Project 100/3 Record — Edinburg, Texas, 24 Feb 67

On February 25, 1967, at 0110Z, a civilian observer located 25 miles out of McAllen, Texas, and 5 miles east of Edinburg, Texas, reported a sighting of an unidentified aerial object. The observer, who was in a Cessna 182 Sky Lane at 8,000 feet, described the object as round and yellow-colored, appearing to be the size of a dime held at arm's length. The object was initially observed as a steady yellow light in the southwest. Over the course of five minutes, the object moved from the southwest to the northeast, stopping several times, before moving rapidly to the southeast and then to the south, where it eventually disappeared. The weather conditions at the time were clear with 10-mile visibility. The report was processed by the Department of the Air Force and forwarded to the University of Colorado, specifically to Dr. Condon. The official conclusion reached by the Air Force was that the sighting was consistent with a satellite observation, specifically suggesting that one of the Pegasus satellites could have been responsible for the event.
