AI-Generated Summary
A civilian in Concord, Vermont, reported a starlike object on 29 November 1962. The Air Force investigation concluded the object was an astronomical meteor.
On 29 November 1962, at 2206Z, a civilian observer in Concord, Vermont, reported a sighting of an unidentified object. The witness described the object as starlike, yellow-blue in color, and many times larger than a star. It possessed a long trail, which the witness compared to that of a shooting star. The object was observed for approximately 10 seconds, traveling from North to South in an elliptic path. The weather conditions were reported as clear. The sighting was evaluated by an airdrome officer, who concluded that the object was a meteor, noting it was 'probably a near shooting star.' The report includes a Project 10073 record card and a formal Report of Unidentified Flying Objects (AFCRC Form 0-146). Additionally, the document contains a teletype message (UNCLAS POOIN 16-L-1) dated 17 November 1962, which appears to be a separate, unrelated communication regarding a 'UFO' described as round, pencil-shaped, red-orange, and consisting of two objects, though this teletype is distinct from the Concord, Vermont meteor report.
