Red to amber UFO fixed in the sky over Syracuse in 1958

Summary

In December 1958, an officer in Syracuse, New York, observed an object glowing between red and amber. This object remained fixed in the sky for fifteen minutes. The officer saw it from the ground, without radar or photographs, and noted that its position did not change despite the long observation time. The description includes details about its angular position and the direction in which it appeared.

The report suggests the officer initially thought it might be the star Arcturus. However, no clear conclusion was reached about its nature, and the case was labeled as "insufficient data for evaluation." This reflects the ambiguity surrounding many UFO reports of the time, where the lack of advanced technology made precise identification difficult. Despite this, the case remains interesting due to its detailed description and the seriousness with which it was recorded.
