Triangular UFO sighted in Louisiana in 1963

Summary

In May 1963, multiple witnesses in Louisiana and surrounding areas reported a triangular object with a bright light at its apex. It was observed from the ground and from an aircraft, with descriptions including a V or cone shape and a trajectory heading southeast. Observers noted the object moving rapidly and leaving a visible trail. One of the witnesses was a Delta Airlines pilot, adding credibility to the account. Despite multiple sightings, the object could not be identified as a balloon, aircraft, or astronomical phenomenon. Eglin Air Force Base launched a meteorological rocket around the same time, suggesting a possible explanation, though it was not officially confirmed.
