UFO in the shape of a football in Fairfield, California

Summary

In August 1960, a witness in Fairfield, California, spotted an object shaped like a football, the size of a pea, with rounded ends and a reddish hue. The object moved at high speed in a straight path but quickly faded from view due to ground lighting. Although initially considered a balloon, aircraft, or astronomical phenomenon, investigators concluded it was likely a meteor. The sighting was recorded on an official form, though the data was insufficient for a more precise evaluation.
