Multicolored UFO observed in Louisiana in 1964

Summary

A 15-year-old and his family in New Iberia, Louisiana, observed a glowing object with red, white, and green lights performing unusual maneuvers for three hours. The object, seen through binoculars and a telescope, resembled a jet that zigzagged, moved in circles, and at one point appeared to be about to crash. No photos or physical evidence were obtained. The official report classified it as an astronomical phenomenon, possibly a star or planet, though no positional data was included to confirm this.

The case prompted several calls to military bases, with conflicting responses: one person said it wasn't an airplane, while another identified it as a star. The witness mentioned similar sightings were reported in Fort Worth, suggesting a possible broader phenomenon. Despite the duration and detailed observations, the lack of precise data and the official response left the nature of the object unresolved.
