AI-Generated Summary
A Navy flight crew reported a two-object sighting on June 15, 1962, which was officially evaluated as a meteor. The report was filed through the CIRVIS system and distributed to multiple high-level military commands.
On June 15, 1962, at 0515Z, a Navy aircraft (identified as 28331) reported a sighting of an unidentified aerial object while at position 25.16N 149.31W. The pilot and co-pilot observed two objects. The primary object first appeared 5 degrees starboard of the aircraft's nose, at an elevation of 30 to 45 degrees above the horizon. It moved to 10 degrees to the left of the nose while increasing in brightness and displaying an unusually long flaming tail. The object appeared to be descending from a northerly direction at a speed comparable to a falling star. The observation lasted between 3 and 5 seconds. When the primary object burned out, a second object was observed as a black body toward the tail of the first. The incident was reported via the CIRVIS (Communication Instructions for Reporting Vital Intelligence Sightings) system. The official conclusion recorded on the Project 10073 record card is that the sighting possessed the characteristics of a meteor. The report was disseminated to various military commands, including PACAF, CINCSAC, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
