Summary

In July 1961, an observer in the Pacific reported an object falling with green and white flames. The phenomenon lasted only two seconds and moved at a 45-degree angle, suggesting a typical trajectory of a meteor or balloon. Although a second light appeared hours later, investigators concluded it was unrelated to the first event. The description of the falling object matches characteristics of a fireball, but it could not be identified with certainty.

Military records indicate the report was classified and later declassified decades later. Despite considering various options, such as balloons or aircraft, there were not enough data for a conclusive evaluation. The case was labeled as astronomical, suggesting it could have been a meteor, although the exact nature of the phenomenon remains a mystery. This document is another example of many UFO reports that lacked a clear explanation.
