Un stationary UFO observed in Illinois in 1965

Summary

In 1965, a witness in Elmhurst, Illinois, reported the presence of an unidentified object over a 30-night period. The object appeared as a flickering orange light and remained stationary at about 45 degrees above the horizon. At one point, it disappeared and reappeared, causing some confusion. The final evaluation suggested it might have been the planet Jupiter, though other explanations were not ruled out.

The report details that the witness saw the object under clear sky conditions, with no physical evidence and no photographs. The description of the object as a bright light and its unusual behavior led to a careful evaluation. Although an astronomical phenomenon was considered, the intermittent nature of the object and its reappearance suggest it might have been something unusual. The report concludes with an assessment that does not completely rule out the possibility of an unidentified phenomenon.
