Nome, Alaska: Silver cigar-shaped object streaks across the sky on a curved path

At 4:40 p.m. a silver, cigar-shaped object streaked across the sky over Nome, Alaska, following a curved flight path. The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported on February 16, 1960, that the object was under investigation. The APRO Bulletin called it the second Alaska sighting in three weeks, and NICAP's UFO Investigator also listed it. The entry names no individual witnesses. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
