AI-Generated Summary
A military aircrew reported two flare-like objects with flat trajectories over the Pacific in 1966. The incident was officially classified as a meteor sighting.
On March 30, 1966, at 0950Z, the crew of a C-124 aircraft (MAC 10153) observed two unidentified flare-type objects while flying over the Pacific at coordinates 15.54N 152.36E. The sighting lasted for approximately one minute. The objects appeared off the right-front side of the aircraft at one-minute intervals, passing within half a mile of the plane. The objects were described as having a blue-green color that changed to white just before burning out. The first object burned out at 9,000 feet, and the second at 6,000 feet. The crew noted that the objects followed a flat trajectory and that the second object ended with a bright explosion similar to fireworks. The pilot, Major C. C. Clayton of the 8th MAS, McCord Air Force Base, reported that if the objects were fired, they were fired in the air and not from the surface. The official conclusion recorded in the Project 10073 record is that the objects were meteors. The report was retransmitted to the CIA per Form 1392 #939.
