TL;DR

A 1962 Bermuda UFO sighting involving a radio station owner and announcer who observed stationary and moving egg-shaped objects. Military investigation ruled out balloons and known aircraft.

This document consists of a Project 10073 Record Card and a series of military staff messages regarding a UFO sighting in Bermuda on August 18, 1962. The primary witnesses were a radio chief announcer and a radio station owner who were observing a 150-foot radio tower under construction. At approximately 2100Z, they observed a stationary, bright white, egg-shaped object positioned at roughly 70 degrees elevation. The object remained stationary for 10 to 15 minutes before moving East at what was described as 'tremendous speed,' disappearing from view in 15 to 20 seconds. The witnesses noted that the object did not change position relative to the radio tower while stationary. Weather conditions were reported as clear. A follow-up investigation by Major Willard E. Kreidler of the 1604th AB WG confirmed that there were no balloons or other known trajectories in the area that could account for the sighting. In a subsequent message, it was noted that the witness had clarified the size of the object as being comparable to an aspirin, rather than a football as initially reported. A later report added that the same witnesses observed three additional egg-shaped objects moving in a westerly direction, which appeared to waiver as they moved and were not in formation. The investigation remained inconclusive regarding the nature of the objects.

Investigation indicates there were no balloons or other trajectories in the area that could explain these sightings.
