Round UFO seen near Indiana in 1965

Summary

In November 1965, an Air Force officer in Indiana reported a round, unidentified object with red edges. The sighting occurred at around 3,000 feet near Clinton and lasted 10 minutes. The object had spokes in the center and made no sound. Binoculars were used, but the object could not be identified. Weather conditions were clear, though a temperature inversion between 1,500 and 10,000 feet might have affected visibility. The report concluded that the object’s nature could not be determined from the available data.

The report was shared with several Air Force units and the Intelligence Community, but no clear explanation was reached. The officer, Captain Brutovsky, noted that no firm conclusions could be drawn. This document highlights how even in the 1960s, UFO sightings generated official interest, albeit without definitive answers.
