Insufficient Data

Summary

On about November 1962, a witness reported an unidentified object that appeared as a long blue-green flame. The report was filed under Project 10073, the Air Force's official record system for unidentified flying object reports.

The object entered an undercast cloud layer at about a 30 degree angle on a heading of about 180 degrees. The duration of the sighting was not reported, and the data was limited.

The Air Force evaluated the case as a probable meteor, based on the blue-green flame description.
