Summary

In November 1965, an unidentified object was spotted in the Atlantic near Iceland, drawing the attention of multiple civilian and military observers. The report details how the object displayed an intense and sustained exhaust flame, with rotating lights that caught attention. It was observed for approximately two minutes, maintaining a straight course without changes in direction or altitude. Observers, including control tower personnel and members of Iceland's defense force, described the phenomenon with high reliability.

The report notes that the object's appearance did not match conventional aircraft, meteors, or comets. Despite observers' efforts, the object could not be precisely identified. The responsible officer concluded it could be a meteor or comet, but no further data was collected to confirm this hypothesis. The case was considered without follow-up by aerospace authorities.
