PROJECT 10073 RECORD CARD - 4 JUNE 1960
AI-Generated Summary
This document details a 1960 radar sighting of two large, stationary objects in the Pacific, which were officially evaluated by the US Navy as weather phenomena.
On June 4, 1960, at 0635Z, two large, stationary radar contacts were detected at 33.50N 144.25W in the Pacific region. The targets were observed at an altitude of 31,000 feet. One target was estimated to be five miles long, while the other was two miles long, with the two objects positioned approximately two to three miles apart. The radar operator noted that the objects were not round, but appeared approximately two ship-widths wide. The targets were tracked from 90 miles ahead off the starboard bow to 130 degrees relative to the starboard side. Despite the radar operator's insistence that the contacts were not clouds, the US Navy evaluated the incident as weather phenomena. Subsequent reports from flights passing through the target area indicated no unusual radar activity, and the incident was officially classified as posing no threat.
