Bright UFO mistaken for Venus

Summary

A young witness observed a bright object in the sky near Richfield, Idaho, in 1960. The object, described as metallic and very large, was seen for 15 minutes before disappearing. Although the witness did not report it immediately, other members of the group did not mention it either. The investigation determined that Venus was in the reported position and brightness, suggesting the witness may have mistaken the planet for a UFO. The delay in reporting and lack of other witnesses add mystery to the case.
