Amarillo UFO 1956

Summary

In July 1956, a retired Air Force pilot reported a bright object near Amarillo, Texas. The witness described a reddish light shaped like a melon, leaving a trail in the clouds. He took a photo of the phenomenon, which was later examined by military officials. While balloon or artillery fire were considered, no definitive conclusion was reached. The case was filed as "no case," but the photo and testimony remain a point of interest for UFO researchers.
