UFO sighted in the South Pacific in 1962

Summary

In July 1962, a civilian observer reported a luminous object moving from south to north near the coordinates 06.09S -110.28W. The sighting lasted about one minute and was recorded by U.S. military authorities. Although no photos were taken, the data matched those of an orbiting satellite. However, satellite information was unavailable to confirm the object's identity. The case was classified as a satellite observation, but the lack of concrete data left open the possibility of an unknown phenomenon.
