UFO seen over Fort Bragg in 1960

Summary

In December 1960, a witness at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, reported a sudden bright object in the sky. The phenomenon was described as a constant white light, the size of a star, moving in a straight line from west to east. The object was observed for two minutes before disappearing, possibly lost in the light of a brighter star. Despite the detailed account, the report concluded that there was not enough information to determine its nature.

Military authorities investigated the possibility of a balloon, aircraft, or astronomical event, but found no conclusive evidence. Flight records of nearby aircraft, including five C-123s, were reviewed, but pilots reported nothing unusual. Balloons or rockets were also ruled out in the area. Although helicopters were mentioned as a possibility, their exact location could not be confirmed. The report ultimately classified the sighting as "insufficient for evaluation," leaving the mystery unresolved.
