UFO sighted in New Mexico in 1964

Summary

In May 1964, multiple witnesses in New Mexico reported a luminous object in the sky. The accounts agree that the object was round, orange or yellow in color, and visible for several minutes. One observer described it as stationary, while another noted it moving slowly eastward. The sightings occurred at different elevations and azimuths, suggesting it could have been Venus, though weather balloons or satellites were also considered. There was no visual confirmation from aircraft or physical evidence, leaving the object's identity unresolved. The reports were analyzed by air authorities, but no conclusive explanation was found.
