A civilian reported a round, white, erratic object over Kokomo, Indiana, on June 9, 1964. The military investigation attributed the sighting to local air traffic from Bunker Hill AFB.
On June 9, 1964, at 0456Z, a civilian witness in North Kokomo, Indiana, observed a round, white, bright object performing erratic zig-zag maneuvers for approximately one and a half minutes. The sighting was reported to the 3250th Bomb Wing at Bunker Hill Air Force Base. The official investigation, conducted by Lt. Col. Arthur L. Hinkle of the DCOI, concluded that the observation was consistent with air traffic from Bunker Hill AFB.
