A civilian report from Troy, New Hampshire, describes multiple bright objects moving erratically in the sky. The official military assessment attributes the sighting to the planets Venus and Jupiter.
This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an accompanying letter from a witness in Troy, New Hampshire. The witness reports that on the night of May 27, 1962, at approximately 0200 hours, they observed a bright glow of light over a mountain called Gap. The witness, who was with a friend, the friend's mother, and two sisters, described the object as moving up and down and side to side before disappearing. The witness further claims that after one object disappeared, it was replaced by six objects. The witness notes that they observed the objects again on May 29, 1962, while fishing, and subsequently called their parents and a neighbor to witness the event. The witness mentions that the objects resembled Unidentified Flying Objects seen in a movie produced by the U.S. Air Force. The official evaluation on the record card concludes that the report is insufficient for a definitive conclusion, but suggests that the description is consistent with astronomical bodies, specifically Venus and Jupiter, whose light may have been refracted by the atmosphere.
The planets Venus and Jupiter are probably the Prime culprits in this sighting.
