Amazing Stories, January 1961

This document is not a pulp magazine but rather a military UFO report form from Project 10073 (the U.S. Air Force's official UFO investigation program, later known as Project Blue Book). Dated January 29, 1961, it records a sighting reported by the USNS Pecos at coordinates 25°3'N 48°22'W. The observation describes an unidentified flying object traveling at high speed on a heading of 130 degrees true, crossing in line with the star Vega at comparable magnitude. The brief summary notes the object was "apparently satellite" but acknowledges insufficient data for definitive evaluation; investigators suggest it could have been an artificial satellite or meteor. The report's conclusion remained indeterminate due to limited information and lack of vessel destination data preventing follow-up investigation.
