Brilliant UFO seen in New Mexico in 1965

Summary

In October 1965, an observer at Cannon Air Force Base in New Mexico spotted a bright object that varied in size from a dime to a quarter. The object was circular, with a bright white center surrounded by an orange glow. It emitted flashes of white light that caught the observer's attention. It moved in strange patterns, even spiraling, before slowly fading into the western horizon. The report notes that the observer used high-powered binoculars, but no physical evidence or photographs were found. The official conclusion pointed to the star Arcturus, though the report suggests the object was unusual.
