UFO seen over Saudi Arabia in 1958

Summary

An engineer in Saudi Arabia reported in 1958 a luminous object moving horizontally across the Persian Gulf sky. The witness described it as brighter than a shooting star, with a tail and a color shift to green as it receded. Although no sound was heard, the object vanished to the south. Others present confirmed the sighting, but no clear explanation was offered. The report classified it as a possible fireball, an exceptionally bright meteor. Later analyses reinforced that it was a common astronomical phenomenon, though striking due to its rarity.
