UFO sighted at Thule Air Base, Greenland in 1960

Summary

In November 1960, an object was sighted at Thule Air Base in Greenland. The object appeared in orange and yellow tones, moving in an unusual manner—accelerating, stopping, and turning at right angles. Despite its apparent speed and maneuvers, it emitted no sound. Visibility was good, and the witnesses, considered reliable, observed the phenomenon for five minutes. Investigators concluded it was likely a weather balloon launched shortly before, which could have reflected sunlight at high altitude. Although no photos were taken, the description and context suggest a conventional explanation.
