UFO seen as fireball over Alaska in 1959

Summary

In March 1959, a pilot from Northern Consolidated Airlines reported a luminous object over Alaska. He described a bright green point of light, slightly larger than a star, that appeared as a streak due to its speed. The object maintained a horizontal flight without dropping and disappeared with a flash of bright light toward the north. The observation lasted between 2 and 3 seconds. The experienced pilot stated it was not a meteor, emphasizing the intense color and horizontal path. The University of Alaska suggested it could be a fireball or meteorite, while local media speculated it might be the reentry of a satellite.
