A military report from November 1962 documents a sighting of a blue-green flame over the Pacific. The incident was officially evaluated as a probable meteor.
On November 4, 1962, at 1040Z, a military report was filed regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed in the Pacific region at coordinates 40.03N 174.44W. The sighting involved a single object described as a 'long blue-green flame.' The object was observed entering an undercast layer, which had stratus tops at 4,000 feet, at a 30-degree angle on a heading of 180 degrees. The report, transmitted via a staff message from the 326 Air Division Kunia Facility in Hawaii, noted that the duration of the sighting was not reported. The official evaluation of the incident, recorded on a Project 10073 record card, concluded that the object was likely a meteor, citing the specific description of the blue-green flame as the primary basis for this determination.
