UFO seen in Meriden in 1962

Summary

In July 1962, a witness in Meriden, Connecticut, reported an unidentified object that appeared as a bright point in the sky. The object, described as white and with erratic movement, was observed for approximately 10 minutes. It zigzagged and fluctuated in altitude, causing confusion about its nature. The witness, an astronomy student, along with other young people and his family, saw it from the street. The US Air Force concluded it was likely the satellite Echo I, known for its fluctuations due to atmospheric conditions and its shape. Despite this, the testimony reflects the uncertainty and mystery surrounding UFO sightings at that time.
