Albany unidentified aerial event — July 19, 1964

On or during July 19, 1964, at or near Albany, Oregon, United States, the source reports the following sequence: OLIVIER Narberth, Pennsylvania Over sixty visual observations of an unusually bright bolide, sighted over British Columbia on July 19, 1964, 0:44 p.m. P.S.T., an unusually brilliant bolide was sighted over British Columbia and, moving in a general south-easterly direction, ended over Washington. Three reports were received from the RCMP with various degrees of accuracy and were utilized first and last observed positions and azimuth lines were drawn for the directions in which the bolide was first and last observed from each station. As always there were great discrepancies in the angles given, ranging 40° 15' N., saw it begin at a Ursae Majoris and cross over ▵ Aquillae-actually it went much further. This observation gave fundamental points on the path and a very fine projected path since it passed almost through the zenith. Several other Canadians saw it near their homes and one reported it to be very low over the trees. DISAPPEARED SUDDENLY AND SILENTLY AFTER 2-3 MINUTES. TRAIL NOT OBSERVED BY DR MCCELGOTT. DISAPPEARED BEHIND HILLSIDE NORTH, PART III. FLAT TRAJECTORY COULD HAVE BEEN AN OPTICAL ILLUSION TO OBSERVER SINCE HE SAW IT FOR SUCH A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME. OLIVIER Narberth, Pennsylvania ABSTRACT Over sixty visual observations of an unusually bright, long-lived, sighted over the northwestern U.S. on July 19, 1964, 9:44 p.m., P.S.T., have been analysed to determine the approximate trajectory path of the object. P.S.T., an unusually bright bolide was sighted over southwestern Alberta and moving in a general south-easterly direction, ended over western Missouri.
