Summary

In September 1961, a pilot and an intelligence officer at Osan AFB in Korea reported an unidentified flying object. The UFO was observed for 12 minutes and exhibited color changes and irregular movements. Initially thought to be an aircraft, investigators concluded it was likely a combat jet with anti-collision lights and afterburners. Witnesses didn't hear any noise, explained by wind, altitude, and presence of other aircraft. Radars didn't detect unknown objects, supporting the theory it was an aircraft. The report found no evidence of a threat to national security.
