UFO reported as meteor in New Bedford

Summary

In May 1965, a U.S. Air Force officer observed a phenomenon he initially thought was a helicopter. While driving east, he noticed an object with bright white lights on its windows that, as it moved northward, displayed red and green colors. These colors gradually faded until they disappeared, behaving like a meteor. The report classifies the event as astronomical, attributing it to an unusual meteor.

The sky was clear, although with some high clouds that may have affected visibility. The observer saw the phenomenon through the curved windshield of his Chevrolet, which could have altered the perception. Although no physical evidence or photos were found, the officer described his experience in detail, including the direction of movement and the estimated duration of the event.
