UFO, Two bright objects over Delaware in 1959

Summary

In May 1959, a witness in Delaware observed two bright objects in the sky resembling falling stars. The sightings occurred within a one-hour period, with each object visible for 5 to 10 seconds. Although no sound or specific direction was reported, the objects became brighter as they descended. The report, under Project 10073, did not reach a definitive conclusion but suggested they could have been meteors. The lack of additional evidence and the nature of a single witness led to the assessment of "insufficient evidence."

The report includes weather data and wind conditions at different altitudes, helping to contextualize the observation. Despite no sightings reported by nearby aircraft, the official conclusion did not lean toward an extraterrestrial explanation. This case is an example of how UFO sightings in the 1950s were analyzed with rigor, but also with caution.
