Meteor illuminates the sky over Turkey in 1960

Summary

In June 1960, a U.S. Navy pilot reported a luminous phenomenon in the sky above northern Biga, Turkey. While flying on a 025-degree magnetic heading, he observed a light source that illuminated the sky, but could not determine its movement or direction. The object appeared behind his aircraft, making identification difficult. Although no photos were taken, investigators concluded it was likely a meteor. Such events, while common, continue to spark curiosity and debate in the field of unexplained phenomena.
