The record

An official file preserves that a report was made and examined. It does not, by itself, establish what was seen.

The document is attached to this entry.

What is not settled

The Air Force statement was a denial that the object was a Russian space vehicle - a rejection of an explanation, not an endorsement of the sighting. Authentic as a US intelligence product only; the MVD post's own log has never been released. The year is inferred from the header, not printed.
