Summary

In December 1960, an observer in San Diego reported a sudden object in the sky described as a very bright blue point, about the size of a dime. The object followed a straight path and disappeared almost where it first appeared, which was unusual and brief. Although the report considered it a possible meteor, its nature remains intriguing.

The official report classified it as a ground visual observation, without photos or radar data. The observer, a military personnel, saw it while getting out of his car, suggesting a casual but clear observation. Although considered a possible astronomical phenomenon like a meteor, the speed of its disappearance and the inability to confirm with radar add a touch of mystery to this case. The brevity of the sighting and lack of follow-up make it a curious event in UFO history.
