Bright green light over Los Alamos

Summary

In March 1949, a security inspector in Los Alamos observed a bright green light descending almost vertically. The witness, who was talking to an officer, described the phenomenon as constant and luminous. The sighting occurred near midnight and was silent. Although the report mentions scattered clouds at high altitude, the object was not identified as a conventional phenomenon. The detailed description and precise location add credibility to the testimony.

The official report includes exact data such as time, direction, and geographic coordinates. The witness, part of the atomic energy security staff, did not report any cloud effects or other anomalies. Despite the thorough investigation, the object remains unidentified. This case, like many from the era, reflects the uncertainty surrounding unexplained aerial sightings during the Cold War.
