Project 10073 Record — Jacksonville, Florida, August 25, 1967

This document is a Project 10073 record concerning a UFO sighting reported by a 14-year-old civilian in Jacksonville, Florida. The witness, while observing the sky for meteors on the night of August 25, 1967, reported seeing a bright, luminous, disc-shaped object. The witness noted that the object appeared fuzzy around the edges and moved slowly in a northerly direction before fading from view. The witness also mentioned that a friend observed the object through a telescope and confirmed its disc-like shape. The sighting lasted approximately one minute. The witness provided additional context, noting that they had been watching for meteors over three nights (August 25-27) and had observed objects on multiple occasions, including an object appearing four times to the west of their house on August 27. The official conclusion reached by the Air Force for the August 25th sighting was that the object was a 'Probable Satellite (PAGEOS A)'. The report includes the completed Air Force questionnaire, a hand-drawn sketch of the object's path relative to trees and Townsend Boulevard, and correspondence from the witness.
