UFO spotted in the Pacific in 1963

Summary

In September 1963, a crew from Eastern Airlines reported a greenish-blue burning object 3-4 degrees above the horizon. The sighting occurred near the coordinates 20°24'N 155°27'W in the Pacific. Initially, observers thought it might be a burning star, but the object lingered longer than expected for an astronomical event. No movement was reported, which complicated the evaluation. The data was considered insufficient for a clear conclusion, and the report was shared with several military and intelligence agencies.

The official report included no photographs or radar data, and the only available description was visual. Although explanations like balloons or aircraft were dismissed, no definitive identification was reached. This case, like many from the era, was classified and archived without resolution, adding to the long list of unexplained aerial phenomena.
