A white-blue flash over Boise, Idaho

Summary

In January 1958, a witness in Boise, Idaho reported a disc-shaped object with a white coloration and a blue tint, along with a blue tail. The sighting was described as a brief flash of light, with no additional details about its path or duration. The lack of detailed information made it difficult for investigators to reach any conclusive evaluation. Although several possibilities were considered, such as balloons or astronomical phenomena, there was not enough data to determine the object's true nature.

The official response was that no evaluation could be made with such limited information, as a flash of light could be practically anything. The report, though brief, reflects the methodology of the time for recording unidentified aerial phenomena, where a lack of precise data was common and often prevented reaching firm conclusions.
