Baltimore, MarylandNovember 1962

Insufficient Data

Summary

On November 7, 1962, in the early morning, a civilian cab driver near Baltimore, Maryland, reported a pink object in the sky to the south of the city. The witness sent the account in a letter to a space agency, which forwarded it to the Air Force in April 1963. The report was filed under Project 10073, the Air Force's official record system for unidentified flying object reports.

The witness said the pink object moved erratically in the sky. Few other firm details were recorded in the report.

The Air Force noted the sighting occurred in November and the report arrived months later. The available information did not support a definite identification.
