Summary

In December 1956, a witness in Miami, Florida, reported an object resembling a red, yellow, and green dart. It was observed at a distance equivalent to the size of a dime at arm's length, at 10 degrees elevation and 330 degrees azimuth. Although efforts were made to obtain more information, no response was received from the witness, and the case was classified as insufficient for a definitive evaluation. The object's unusual description and movement generated interest, but without additional data, no clear conclusion was reached.

A second sighting occurred five days later, this time with a blinking red and green light. Initially stationary, the object suddenly moved southwest at high speed. It was seen for five minutes using binoculars, suggesting good visibility. Investigators concluded it was likely an aircraft, although its unexpected behavior remained unexplained. Both cases reflect the difficulty researchers of the time had in identifying non-conventional objects without more compelling evidence.
