AI-Generated Summary
A military report documents two bright flashes observed on the moon from New Orleans on 11 November 1962. The case was closed due to insufficient data, though military intelligence queried for potential Soviet lunar probe activity.
This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated 'Operational Immediate' military cable dated 12 November 1962. The report documents a sighting from New Orleans, Louisiana, on 11 November 1962, at 2320Z, involving two bright flashes observed on the surface of the moon. The military investigation, conducted under Project 10073, concluded that there was insufficient data to evaluate the event. The associated cable, distributed to various military and intelligence agencies including NORAD, SPADAT, and the Defense Intelligence Agency, highlights the concern that these flashes might be related to a Soviet lunar probe. The military requested reports on any unusual radio frequencies intercepted or optical phenomena observed at the time, specifically inquiring about the 160-167 megacycle and 2700-3000 megacycle bands. The document was later declassified on 29 May 1969.
