UFO Sighting in Minnesota 1955

Summary

In 1955, a pilot in Minnesota reported a glowing oblong UFO that made a sharp 90-degree turn. The sighting was brief, lasting only 2 seconds visually and 15-20 seconds on radar. The official conclusion suggested a possible optical illusion due to the aircraft's position or a thermal inversion that might have caused radar reflections. Despite the mysterious nature of the report, no photos were taken and the object was not identified with certainty. This case is part of the Project 10073 records, a U.S. Air Force program dedicated to investigating unidentified aerial phenomena.
