Loring Flight-Line UFO Report During/After Cuban Missile Crisis

Fall 1962; Hastings narrows the account to the Cuban Missile Crisis or a few days afterward from the temporary tandem Chrome Dome mission patternLoring Air Force Base, Maine, Maine, United States

A pseudonymous former 42nd Field Maintenance Squadron jet-engine mechanic told Hastings that a UFO appeared above the Loring flight line as a tandem Chrome Dome B-52 mission returned amid an unusual emergency response. A former coworker confirmed the tandem return and emergency mobilization but said he did not remember the UFO; Hastings explicitly calls the case incomplete and withholds most details pending corroboration.
