AI-Generated Summary
A Hawaiian Airlines flight crew reported a stationary, greenish-blue burning object in the Pacific on September 9, 1963. The sighting was documented via a CIRVIS report and Project 10073 record card, but was ultimately deemed to have insufficient data for evaluation.
On September 9, 1963, a CIRVIS report was filed regarding an aerial sighting by a Hawaiian Airlines DC-3 crew. The aircraft, identified as flight number 9112, observed a greenish-blue burning object positioned 3 to 4 degrees above the horizon at a bearing of 075 degrees. The observation occurred at 1426Z at coordinates 20-24N 155-27W. The witnesses initially considered the object to be a burning star, but noted that it lingered above the horizon for a duration that exceeded what would be expected for such a phenomenon. The report was transmitted from the 326 Air Division at Kunia Facility, Hawaii, to various military commands and was subsequently forwarded to the CIA. Official project records for Project 10073 indicate that there was no mention of movement and that the available information was insufficient for a formal evaluation.
At first thought to be burning star but lingered above horizon too long.
