‘What Is It’ Satellite
Mystifies Pentagon
WASHINGTON, Iff) — A dark
satellite that the Pentagon said
may be of Soviet origin tumbled
through space yesterday in an or
bit of mystery.
Its path over the poles was
one that would be desirable for
any type of “seeing eye” space
spy.
Moscow was saying nothing
about it.
Here’s all that’s known about
the mystery object, according to
the Defense Department:
It appears to be in a near polar
orbit. It is dark and is probably
less than 19 feet long. It is silent,
as far as U. S. monitors, are
concerned.
But American space scientists
have not ruled out the possibility
that the satellite could be sending
messages if triggered by a remote
receiving station in the Soviet
Union. However, these scientists
have learned from experience that
it is difficult to receive signals
from a space vehicle tumbling in
orbit, as this one appears to be
At Jodrell Bank in England,
scientists at the British radio tele
scope said they knew of no sat
ellite sent aloft by the Soviets
recently and that they have no
information on any new satellite
around the poles.
Navy tracking stations first
spotted the object about three
weeks ago, but the Defense De
partment said nothing about it.
There was no official comment
until after word was publicized
Wednesday that the Pentagon was
buzzing with “what is it?” spec
ulation.
