UFO in Pittsburgh 1965

Summary

Initially, these phenomena were attributed to meteor showers, but continued reports with varied and unusual details kept the interest alive. Local astronomers and observatories got involved in the investigation, but no conclusive evidence was found. Most reports were considered unreliable or coincided with known natural events.
