UFO identified as bolide in Livingston Montana

Summary

In August 1957, a B-47 pilot reported an aerial phenomenon over Livingston, Montana. The aircraft, flying at 37,000 feet, observed a long green trail coming from an object at 33,000 feet. The report classifies the event as a "bolide," a meteorite penetrating the Earth's atmosphere. Despite the lack of photographs or additional data, observers concluded it was not a balloon, an aircraft, or a conventional astronomical event. The report notes there was no trace of daylight and the weather was dry with dense clouds. The event was considered typical of a luminous meteorite, though without definitive confirmation.
