UFO seen in Maine in 1965

Summary

In 1965, a witness in Maine reported an unidentified object with a green glow that appeared very close. The U.S. Air Force responded by noting that green meteors are common, but it is unusual for them to seem so near. Witnesses often misjudge the actual distance of meteors, which can be hundreds of miles away, making them appear closer than they are. The letter also mentions that the report was forwarded to the American Meteor Society to compare with other sightings in the area.

Although the object was not officially identified, the official response suggests it could have been a natural phenomenon. However, the lack of confirmation from other observers leaves open the possibility that the sighting was something unusual. The document, written by a high-ranking officer, shows the serious interest the Air Force had in UFO reports during that time.
