Brown UFO seen in Chicago in 1961

Summary

In September 1961, a witness in Chicago described a brown object the size of a car. She saw it from her kitchen, looking east through a window. The object made no noise and disappeared northward. Although she tried to describe its shape, investigators concluded there was not enough information to evaluate the case. It was considered possibly a cloud or a balloon, but nothing could be confirmed.

The witness did not take photos and was the only observer, complicating the investigation. The official report notes that it could not be determined if it was an aircraft, a balloon, or an astronomical phenomenon. The object had three windows and a solid appearance, but no wings or wheels were observed. The testimony was recorded as insufficient for a conclusive evaluation, and the case remains unsolved.
