Eyewitness UFO in Louisiana

Summary

A civilian in Alexandria, Louisiana, reported observing an object in the sky on August 26, 1965. The witness described a yellow star-shaped object that brightened and dimmed, showing a reddish color change. The object appeared at about 30 degrees elevation in the west and remained stationary for over 90 minutes, though it moved erratically between north and south. Despite the long observation, no photos were taken and no physical evidence was found. Analysts considered the phenomenon could be explained as a star or planet observation, though the unusual behavior of the object generated some uncertainty.
