Mysterious Orange Light Over Ursa Major in 1956

Summary

In November 1956, a civilian observer in Muehlheim, Germany, reported a stationary orange light in the constellation Ursa Major. The object remained visible for about 30 seconds, blinked two to three times, and then vanished. The witness compared it to Mars in color and size, but ruled out an aircraft. Due to limited data, investigators could not determine its origin.

The official report deemed the case insufficient for a clear evaluation. Although possibilities like balloons or astronomical phenomena were considered, no definitive conclusion was reached. This case is a classic example of a UFO sighting that remains unresolved due to its brevity and ambiguity.
