UFO observed near Luke AFB in 1965

Summary

In December 1965, a U.S. Air Force officer at Luke AFB, Arizona, reported an unidentified object that appeared like a meteor. The object was described as a bright white light that intensified and accelerated as it descended toward the north. According to the report, the object behaved similarly to a meteor, but was observed at a much closer distance. The phenomenon lasted between 15 and 29 seconds, and no photographs or physical evidence were collected.

The report details that the observer, an experienced captain, described the object's trajectory with precision, noting its high speed and fading brightness until it disappeared. Despite the observer's professional training, investigators could not offer an alternative explanation, and the case was classified as "unidentified." This document is another example of the many UFO reports reviewed by military authorities in the 1960s.
