Red Flasing Light UFO in Smithville

Summary

In April 1960, a witness in Smithville, Tennessee, observed a red flashing object that stopped several times before disappearing. Sewart Air Force Base evaluated the case and concluded it was likely an aircraft, though the official report did not reach a definitive resolution. The observer described a red flashing light the size of a basketball, moving slowly and stopping three times. Despite initial confusion, investigators agreed there was no conclusive evidence of an unidentified phenomenon.

The report includes weather details, testimonies, and evaluations from officers, but no definitive identification was reached. The case was classified as "No Case (Information Only)", indicating it was not considered significant for further investigation. Although the observer did not hear any sound, the investigator concluded the object might have been farther away than perceived, which would explain the slow apparent movement and stops.
