UFO sighted in Michigan with blue tail

Summary

In June 1959, a witness in Michigan reported a white spherical object with a blue tail moving in a straight line. The observer, a civilian electrical engineer, described the object as the size of a penny and saw it for about 10 seconds. According to the report, the object left a visible tail stretching 50 to 100 miles long. Despite the detailed description, investigators concluded it could be a meteor or an atmospheric phenomenon, such as light reflections from ice crystals.

The report includes data on weather conditions and wind at different altitudes, noting that the object showed no maneuvers or noise, making identification difficult. Although a balloon or aircraft were considered, no conclusive evidence was found. The case was filed without a definitive explanation, but it was linked to other sightings in the same area in 1958, attributed to light reflections from fog over Lake Superior.
