1. Mr. , Nuclear Physicist, has requested an evaluation of his sightings on the night of 11 Aug and the morning of 13 Aug. While the object resembled a satellite in appearance, orbital characteristics to the west are not in accord with present launching practices. The only recorded case of a retrograde satellite occurred in the latter part of 1960 when the Grumman Aircraft Tracking Units attempted to plot an orbit without success. In addition to the directiona…

Any other information by Mrs. [redacted] not necessarily reliable as per a trained observer.

Note: I should like to request return information on nature of this sighting. Please feel free to contact me for any further additional information if not presented here - I cannot feel I've left out any details though

This is to report a call I made to Mr. [redacted] of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, relative to his sightings of August 11th and August 13th, and that of his wife, of August 5th, 1965.

Mr. [redacted] now runs his own business called General Computer Services, Inc. which is not only a business of maintenance and programming, but they are devising means of furnishing real time computer services to business organizations, etc. Until he began his own company he was a n…

The sighting of August 13th, 12:17 A.M. Eastern Daylight Saving Time, thus August 13th 4:17 U.T., is the best reported, and I will give that and then mention how the other two sightings differ from that.

Mr. [redacted] had been out most of the night watching for the second appearance of the object he sighted the night before. On the hypothesis that it was a retrograde satellite he kept a vigil all that evening outside his house and had gone in for just a few minutes before 12:17 A.M. and says he kicked himself for doing that since. When he got outside, there was his bright object directl…

Mr. Sine is obviously intelligent, scientifically trained and quite competent as an observer. Since he is emphatic on the point that he is well acquainted with high-flying jets and that he "always hears them," we are faced with more of a problem than if we could dismiss this as an aircraft.

Concerning the other sightings: The first sighting was made on Thursday, August 5th. The passage was apparently very similar to August 13th except that there was no moon. The time was 11:30 P.M. Eastern Day-light Saving Time. The sighting of August 11th was not so well placed in the sky. It was observ…
