Bright UFO seen over Frankfort in 1964

Summary

In July 1964, a civilian in Frankfort, Indiana, reported seeing a luminous object that appeared from the east and moved northward. The witness, initially skeptical about UFO sightings, described a shapeless object that was intensely bright, similar to a giant lantern. The object did not display blinking lights or unusual behavior, distinguishing it from conventional aircraft. The report was accompanied by a newspaper clipping, though no photos or physical evidence were collected.

The Air Force requested additional information through an FTO 164 form, but no response was received. The report concludes that further data is needed for evaluation. Despite the lack of clear answers, the witness and others in the area reported similar sightings, suggesting there may be a logical explanation for the phenomenon.
