UFO seen over Biloxi Mississippi in 1965

Summary

In September 1965, a civilian in Biloxi, Mississippi, reported observing an unidentified object that appeared to be the size of the planet Venus. The object emitted a steady white light that occasionally flickered. According to the report, the observer saw the object for approximately 10 minutes. The object made a 90-degree turn and disappeared to the north, drawing attention due to its maneuverability. The report notes that the witness identified it as something different from a known satellite, such as ECHO II, which was in orbit at the time but did not match the object's description.

The Air Force recorded the incident as part of Project 10073, a system for reporting unidentified aerial phenomena. Although no physical evidence was found, the report details the visual observation and the object's trajectory. The report was shared with several Air Force units and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), indicating that the case was considered significant enough to be filed and analyzed. Despite efforts, no conclusive explanation for the phenomenon was reached.
