Project 10073 Record Card — Camp Carmel, Dunbar, Pa. — 18 July 1962

On July 18, 1962, at approximately 10:30 PM EST, a 20-year-old college student and camp counselor observed two unidentified flying objects near Camp Carmel in Dunbar, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. The witness, who was engaged in amateur astronomy at the time, reported seeing two objects that appeared as silvery, metallic, thick discs, similar in shape to a watch with thinner edges. The objects were described as blue and white, pulsating, and capable of hovering or moving in tight circles. The witness noted that one object produced a sound, while the other did not. The objects traveled from the constellation Draco, through Hercules, toward Lyra, and eventually disappeared into Pegasus, with one object obscured by trees and the other by forming fog. Approximately fifteen minutes after the sighting, the witness observed jet aircraft in the area, which he believed were searching for the objects. The witness completed a U.S. Air Force Technical Information Sheet on July 19, 1962, providing detailed sketches and descriptions of the event. The official ATIC evaluation concluded that there was insufficient data to positively identify the objects, noting that while they were likely aircraft, the reported flight paths and sound did not fully substantiate that conclusion. The report explicitly states that there was no evidence to suggest the objects posed a threat to national security.
