UFO sighted at Homestead AFB in 1956

Summary

In May 1956, a military officer at Homestead Air Force Base in Florida reported an unidentified flying object. The report states that two observers saw an object with lights, one red and two white, moving silently without exhaust. One described it as circular or elliptical, while the other could not determine its shape. The object remained in the area for over two hours, which was unusual for an aircraft to stay in the same location for that long. Due to the lack of precise data, such as position and additional details, the case was classified as insufficient for evaluation.

The report mentions that one observer tried to identify the object with binoculars but only saw a red light. The weather was clear and dark, aiding visual observation. Although an astronomical body was considered, the data was not enough to confirm it. The lack of detailed information and the inability to identify the object with certainty made this a typical UFO case from the era, where ambiguity was common.
