Bright light observed by Eastern Airlines pilot

Summary

In March 1960, a pilot with Eastern Airlines reported seeing a bright light in the southern sky while flying northeast near Evansville, Indiana. The light flared up suddenly and disappeared quickly, showing no clear direction or speed. The object appeared stationary, and the report lacked specific details such as the pilot's name or more precise descriptions.

The lack of concrete information raised doubts about the nature of the phenomenon. A high meteor was considered a possibility, but questionnaires sent to Eastern Airlines for more details were returned blank. Pilots in the area denied having reported a UFO. Ultimately, there was not enough evidence to determine what the object was, and the case remained unresolved.
