UFO sighted in the Atlantic in 1962

Summary

In October 1962, a bright object was observed in the Atlantic by members of an aircraft crew. It was described as a white star moving from southeast to northwest, remaining visible for seven minutes before disappearing behind clouds. Despite its star-like appearance, there was no radar contact, which caused some confusion. Observers used binoculars to confirm its movement relative to the stars, indicating it was not a common astronomical phenomenon. The official evaluation classified it as a satellite, although the possibility of a balloon or aircraft was not ruled out. This case is intriguing due to its remote location and the detailed data provided by the witnesses.
