UFO seen over Houma, Louisiana in 1965

Summary

In December 1965, a witness in Houma, Louisiana reported a mysterious object that initially appeared like a planet but exhibited unusual behavior. The object, which started as red and turned orange, left a vapor trail resembling a cumulus cloud. It moved southeast, paused, and emitted smaller objects that detached briefly before rejoining the main one. A licensed pilot also saw it, adding credibility to the sighting.

The observation lasted 5-8 minutes, and while Venus refraction was suggested, no conventional explanation was found. The report includes multiple witness accounts but no physical evidence.
