UFO spotted near Petoskey in 1958

Summary

In January 1958, a civilian observer in Michigan spotted an object in the sky displaying changing colors: green, red, and white. The object was moving northeast to southwest and remained visible for three minutes. Initially considered a balloon, the data now suggest it was more likely an aircraft with flashing navigation lights. The description of colors and movement points to a conventional explanation, but the testimony remains intriguing for its clarity and detail.
