1965 UFO Seward Pennsylvania

Summary

In 1965, a witness in Seward, Pennsylvania, reported seeing a bright object described as a meteor. The event lasted about two seconds and moved westward with a silvery glow. The observer compared it to a shooting star but noted the absence of a tail and a carbon arc-like light effect. Initially considered a possible satellite re-entry, the analysis concluded it was more likely a meteor. The duration and direction did not match typical satellite decay characteristics.

The Air Force acknowledged the report, noting that meteors and satellite decays can appear similar. They emphasized that satellites usually move eastward and last longer. Although no photos or physical evidence were collected, the observation was appreciated for its relevance in understanding aerial phenomena. The case was ultimately classified as a meteor, closing the investigation.
