Project 10073 Record Card — Berlin, New Hampshire, 13 June 1962

This document is a Project 10073 record card and associated military teletype reports detailing a UFO sighting that occurred on June 13, 1962, near Berlin, New Hampshire. Two employees from a local radio station reported observing four yellow, circular objects in the sky. The witnesses described the objects as appearing in a diamond or T-shaped formation, which later shifted to a trapezoid. The objects were observed twice: first while the witnesses were traveling south on Route 16, and later while traveling south on Route 110. During the first sighting, the objects were seen heading south; during the second, they were seen heading north. The witnesses noted that the objects were yellowish with a red light beneath and were blinking. The duration of the sightings was recorded as 30 seconds for the first and four minutes for the second. The report notes that no optical aids were used and no sound was heard. Intelligence Officer Lt. Stephen Gula evaluated the reports as logical, consistent, and coherent. However, the official conclusion reached by the Air Force was that the sighting was a misidentification of a KC-97 aircraft conducting a refueling operation in the area. The report suggests that the aircraft's blinking red anti-collision lights and rotating yellow beacon, viewed from a distance, created an unfamiliar visual situation for the observers. The document also mentions that the radio station employees were asked by Air Force officials not to broadcast the sighting, and that no further information had been revealed at the time of the report.
