Background
At 9:00 p.m., director Robert I. Johnson and other staff at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago, Illinois, observed a faint reddish object in the sky moving from east to west. According to the entry it was apparently the same mystery satellite that observers at Grumman had seen and photographed. The sighting belongs to the Moonwatch mystery satellite reports of 1958–1962 documented by the Center for UFO Studies. The Chicago Tribune and other newspapers reported on the object at the end of August 1960. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
