Blue and orange UFO seen in Los Angeles

Summary

In August 1965, a witness in Los Angeles, California, reported a UFO consisting of two objects: one orange and one blue. The orange object, compared to a football, suddenly rose vertically and changed to a reddish-white color before disappearing. The blue object, the size of a baseball, was also present, but its disappearance was unexplained. The witness, considered unreliable, insisted it was not the moon or a star. The night was clear, and no other reports of the phenomenon were found, raising questions about the credibility of the account.

The report includes astronomical data placing Mars near the star Spica, which could have confused the observer. The unusual behavior of the UFO and the lack of physical evidence add mystery to the case. Although the officer in charge considered it a possible hoax or hallucination, the testimony remains an unresolved example of the many UFO reports from that era.
