Summary

In September 1964, a witness in Kansas City, Missouri, observed a bright object resembling a large meteorite. The object, initially green and silver, turned orange as it fell toward Earth. The sighting lasted one minute and was initially considered a possible satellite decay, although no satellite deorbit was recorded that day. The object's trajectory and description generated some confusion, but it was ultimately classified as an astronomical event.

The report includes weather conditions and the object's direction, but no physical evidence or photographs were found. Despite the lack of concrete proof, the report highlights the clarity of the observation and the detailed description provided by the witness. This case, while inconclusive, is part of a series of reports showing how civilian observers contributed to the understanding of unexplained aerial phenomena in the 1960s.
