UFO in Sioux City, Iowa, August 1965

Summary

In August 1965, a witness in Sioux City, Iowa, reported an unidentified flying object (UFO) initially classified as a weather balloon. The report details that the object was observed for 15 minutes, without emitting sound, and changed color from white to red. The witness described it as a large object resembling a star, moving northward and disappearing out of sight.
