On 7 December 1962, at 0520Z, a military aircraft operating over the Pacific Ocean at coordinates 45.50N 173.30W reported a visual sighting of an unidentified flying object.

The object was initially sighted at 030 degrees true, 60 degrees above the horizon, and eventually faded at 105 degrees over the moon, 30 degrees above the horizon. At the time of the sighting, the reporting aircraft was flying at an altitude of 11,000 feet with a ground speed of 230 knots. Weather conditions were reported as clear with no cloud cover and visibility exceeding 50 miles. The incident was documented via a CIRVIS report and subsequently processed under Project 10073.
