Summary

In July 1955, a civilian in Glendive, Montana, observed an object that emitted variable red, orange, and green colors. Described as star-shaped, the object moved vertically and horizontally for over an hour. Despite the detailed sighting and duration, officials concluded it was Arcturus, a star visible at the time. However, the report also notes that Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were not in favorable positions, adding an air of mystery to the case.

The official investigation did not reach a definitive conclusion and was marked as "insufficient data for evaluation." Nevertheless, the observer's detailed account and precise coordinates suggest the event warranted further attention. Like many similar cases from the era, this one reflects the confusion and interest of military authorities in unexplained aerial phenomena.
