Bright UFO over Azores in 1959

Summary

In January 1959, an observer reported a bright object near the Azores. The phenomenon lasted about 30 minutes and showed color changes between white, red, green, and white again. Initially, it was thought to possibly be a weather balloon, but there was no definitive confirmation. The report notes that Venus was in the position of the observed object, suggesting it might have been mistaken for the planet. However, the object did not respond to radar or cause electronic disturbances, complicating its identification. The report concludes that there was insufficient information for a clear evaluation, but leaves open the possibility that it could have been an astronomical phenomenon or a balloon.

The observer's description includes details such as the pulsation of the object and the presence of a white glow in the sky. Despite the lack of conclusive evidence, the case was recorded as an unresolved observation.
