UFO in Reardon Washington 1961

Summary

In January 1961, several witnesses in Reardon, Washington, reported seeing bright lights in the sky near a Nike missile site. The lights appeared to move similarly to those on a helicopter, with alternating red flashes. Although some witnesses described the lights as luminous spheres moving rapidly or hovering, investigators concluded they were from a private helicopter with non-standard lights. The owner had installed the lights for visibility during night flights, explaining the confusion. Investigators found no evidence of landing or supernatural activity, and testimonies aligned with helicopter behavior.
