UFO seen as meteor in Illinois

Summary

In January 1964, a witness in Bournnais, Illinois, reported an oval object, yellow with a blue trail, descending from the sky. It was believed to have landed after a two-minute observation. The Air Force evaluated it as a meteor, though the object was never recovered.

The report mentions the witness, a 60-year-old man, saw the object from a road four miles east of Wilmington. Although it was thought to have crashed, no recovery attempts were made. The case was archived without further investigation.
