PROJECT 10073 RECORD CARD — 10 November 1962
AI-Generated Summary
A radar-detected target in North Star Bay, Greenland, on 10 November 1962, triggered multiple military search sorties that failed to locate any object. The incident was officially classified as having insufficient data for evaluation.
On 10 November 1962, a CIRVIS report was filed regarding an unidentified fast-moving target detected by radar in the North Star Bay area of Greenland. The target was first noted at 0639Z, with a magnetic bearing of 280 degrees, and was described as inbound. The target was subsequently lost in ground clutter at a range of 3 miles magnetic west. Following the initial detection, military authorities initiated search operations. At 1130Z, an L-20 aircraft searched an area approximately 45 nautical miles from Cape Athol with negative results. Later, at 1300Z, two F-102 aircraft conducted a search of a 1000 square mile area, also without success. A final search was conducted at 1630Z by an L-20 aircraft on a bearing of 275 degrees from Cape Athol at an altitude of 800 feet, which also failed to sight the target. The official conclusion recorded on the Project 10073 record card is that there was insufficient data for evaluation, noting that the only information provided was that a target was inbound.
