Triangular UFO sighted in Adana, Washington in 1959

Summary

In September 1959, a witness in Adana, Washington observed three round objects with a blue cast in a trail formation. The sighting occurred early in the morning and the objects moved south and then southeast, disappearing behind trees. Although the witness did not report noise or visible details, the official assessment suggested they were likely commercial aircraft. The confusion might be due to the objects being at high altitude and weather conditions not being ideal for clear observation.

The official investigation concluded that the objects were likely commercial aircraft flying under VFR (visual flight rules). Three commercial flights had passed near the sighting location during the reported time, supporting the theory that the witness mistook aircraft lights for unknown objects. Despite the delayed report, investigators contacted the witness to verify details and rule out other explanations. The official report found no evidence of an unexplained phenomenon, attributing the sighting to a misperception of conventional objects.
