UFO sighted in Meridian, Idaho in 1963

Summary

In October 1963, an unidentified object was observed in Meridian, Idaho, for six minutes. Witnesses, including two youths and an adult, described a shiny metallic object shaped like a football from the side and circular from below. It emitted a deep, pulsating, and irritating sound, hovered over them for over four minutes, then ascended and disappeared. Initially thought to be a helicopter, authorities confirmed no such flights occurred in the area at that time. The object's description did not match conventional aircraft or astronomical phenomena, making it a puzzling UFO case.
