Bright red UFO seen in West Bloomfield

Summary

A witness in West Bloomfield, Michigan, observed a circular object the size of a basketball, bright red in color, moving rapidly at high altitude. The sighting occurred on May 26, 1959, at 20:25 PM. Although the investigating officer suggested it could have been a civilian aircraft, the case was deemed to lack sufficient evidence for a conclusive determination. The observation was brief, only a "momentary glimpse," limiting the possibility of a more accurate assessment.

The report includes weather details such as moderate winds and good visibility, and notes the proximity of several civilian and military airports. However, no photographs or physical evidence were found to support the testimony. The case was classified as insufficient for a definitive evaluation, reflecting the common ambiguity in many UFO sightings of the time.
