UFO spotted by plane in 1964

Summary

In April 1964, a BOAC Airlines pilot reported an object in the sky resembling a space re-entry. It was seen at a 45-degree angle, moving from east to west. Although the object was said to break apart upon entry, it could not be identified with certainty. Military authorities concluded there was insufficient data to evaluate the phenomenon. Balloon, aircraft, or meteor were considered, but no explanation was confirmed.

The sighting occurred near 35.50°N and 161.00°E, a remote area of the Pacific. The report was sent to multiple agencies, including the CIA, showing official interest in unidentified objects. However, no further data was provided, and the case remains unsolved.
