FOIA: Heavily Redacted UFO Siting

COMINT UFO Report
Report of a UFO sighting.

Document date: 1111-11-11
Department: Redacted
Author: Redacted
Document type: Report
pages: 2



Archivist's Notes: This document is heavily blacked out. As a result most information is unreadable. It reports a sighting of strange lights, but it is unclear as to where. With the blacking out it reads like it identifying the lights but obviously this is unclear. A rather poor source for gaining useful information

The document is indeed heavily redacted.

That being the case, I will post what I can pull from it.


A noiseless unidentified light was witnessed and reported.

Possibility of light being a satellite.

Light subsequently identified as "at least" one aircraft.

Possibly at a later time, 3 lights were seen at approximately 300 meters. One was stationary and blinking, other two were moving, presumably in the same general area with them crossing paths on at least one occasion.

Either the conclusion was made that it was a cargo flight, or it was suggested that the UFO be labeled a cargo flight.


Too heavily redacted to pull any real information.

Pages are labeled "Page 0015" and "Page 0016".

May be part of another document.

Indeed. That is what I was thinking myself. Certainly they would not have begun with pages 15 and 16.

Good point. Thanks for the heads-up on paying attention to this important fact in the future.

I've noticed that too. An indication that we should be careful with other documents. I hope not but might be a common thing...

The mention of a satellite might date the document as being written after 4th October 1957, the date when the first satellite Sputnik 1 was launched.

Apart from that there's not an awful lot to go on.
