Green UFO seen in Nebraska

Summary

In 1965, a witness in Litchfield, Nebraska, observed a mysterious object shaped like a wash tub, olive green in color. The object was descending from the east, then ascended rapidly toward the north before disappearing into clouds. The sighting lasted between 3 and 5 minutes. Despite mist and light rain, the witness saw it without sound or visible propulsion effects. The official conclusion was a civilian balloon, though the description includes details that don't easily fit that explanation.

The report includes sketches and directional data, but no physical evidence or photos. The witness had not seen anything similar before, and there were no other witnesses present. Despite the detailed account, authorities couldn't confirm the object's nature, leaving open the possibility of an unidentified phenomenon.
