UFO sighted over Mildenhall in 1957

Summary

In October 1957, at Mildenhall Air Base in England, a UFO was observed for nearly half an hour. A circular object, the size of a dime at arm's length, was both visually and radar-detected. Its color varied between yellow and orange, with an intensity that made it stand out clearly. Observers, military personnel, reported no trail or sound, and the object moved slowly westward. Despite investigations, no conventional explanation was found. Venus was in the position of the sighting, but radar targets did not match the visual observation, creating confusion.

The air base contacted other units to rule out possible explanations such as weather balloons or aircraft, but all checks came up negative. Weather data and wind patterns at different altitudes failed to identify the object. In the end, officers concluded it was an unidentified object, making it one of the most intriguing cases in the UFO archives of the time.
