Green UFO spotted over Watertown in 1965

Summary

In March 1965, a witness in Watertown, South Dakota, reported a bright green object that suddenly appeared in the clear sky. The phenomenon lasted only a few seconds, but it was enough to spark curiosity. The observer, who was alone at the time, described the object as something that didn’t look like a plane or a typical star. Although no photos were taken and there were no confirmed additional witnesses, the report was sent to the U.S. Air Force’s Foreign Technology Division for evaluation.

The official response was brief: the report lacked sufficient information for a conclusive assessment. The witness was asked to complete a more detailed form. This case, like many others from that era, was added to the long list of UFO sightings reviewed with skepticism but not entirely dismissed. While no clear explanation was reached, the testimony reflects the curiosity and mystery surrounding such sightings in the 1960s.
