Hereford Inlet, April 1962April 1962

Insufficient Data

Summary

On April 9, 1962, at about 1922R (local time), military observers at coastal lighthouse stations reported a light in the sky about 25 to 30 miles east-southeast of Hereford Inlet Light on the Atlantic coast. The report was filed on the Project 10073 record card, the Air Force's official record for unidentified flying object reports.

The observers described an orange-red flashing in the sky. The flashing covered about a one mile area. The sighting was confirmed by a second lighthouse station at Corsons Inlet.

The Air Force concluded there was insufficient data for evaluation. The card noted that the report came from observers at two lighthouses but contained no data for a valid conclusion.
