UFO sighted near Weston, Missouri in 1961

Summary

In January 1961, a witness and his companion observed an unidentified object near Weston, Missouri. While parked in a secluded area, they saw an object fly overhead and land about four miles north. The object emitted a faint red glow and then displayed two bright white lights, one above the other, pointing toward their car. The witnesses followed the object for several miles, impressed by the intensity of the light. Although initially thought to be a helicopter, no evidence was found that one was scheduled in the area at that time. The report concluded it was likely a helicopter, though the witness, a mechanic by trade, did not recognize it as such.

The officer in charge of the case, Captain Joseph M. Fahey Jr., concluded it was likely a helicopter, though the witness did not correctly identify it.
