Summary

A civilian reported in 1964 having seen two very bright flashes in the northeast sky. The observer described the flashes moving from east to west and lasting between 2 and 3 seconds. The first had an intense blue color and then turned bright orange. Although the report suggests it could be a meteor, the detailed description and unusual duration of the phenomenon raise curiosity. The precise location and coordinates add credibility to the testimony.

NASA received the report and classified it as possibly astronomical, though without physical evidence. The description of "bright and orange" along with the color sequence is unusual for a common phenomenon. The testimony, although brief, includes technical details such as elevation and azimuth, suggesting the observer was attentive to the sky. Despite the official conclusion, the case remains interesting for researchers of unidentified phenomena.
