UFO in Indonesia 1960

Summary

In October 1960, the Indonesian government reported a fallen object believed to be a satellite or meteorite. The report indicated that the object landed on Ende Island at specific coordinates, and local authorities had already taken custody. Efforts were made to identify the object, including consultations with the police, navy, and British embassy. Although its nature was uncertain, possibilities such as satellites, atmospheric vehicles, or rocket debris were considered. The report also noted that a detailed report from a nearby air unit was expected, but not before October 20th. This case was part of a series of similar events at the time, including satellite falls and Cold War-era space activity.
