UFO sighted in the Pacific in 1963

Summary

In August 1963, an observer in the Pacific reported an unusual aerial phenomenon: a yellow-green flash followed by a yellow-green smoke trail that lasted about six seconds. The object was moving downward at an estimated speed of one-third that of a meteor, and was seen at a 45-degree elevation. Although no photos were taken, the report classified the observation as "possibly a meteor," suggesting that military authorities considered a natural explanation. However, the detailed description and the persistence of the trail raise some curiosity about its true nature.

The case was recorded by the U.S. Air Force and shared with several agencies, including the Navy and the CIA. Although other possibilities such as balloons or aircraft were ruled out, no definitive conclusion was reached. Cases like this, often filed without resolution, are valuable for understanding how authorities handled sightings in the 1960s.
