Insufficient Data

Summary

On November 16, 1962, near Coos Bay and North Bend, Oregon, witnesses reported two objects in the sky. The report was filed under Project 10073, the Air Force's official record system for unidentified flying object reports.

The objects were orange-red, one long and one short, with a small break between them and a trailing glow. They were seen at about a 45 degree angle. No flight maneuvers or speed were noted.

The Air Force listed the case as insufficient data for analysis, since there was no mention of the objects' movement or speed.
