Stationary UFO observed at Langley AFB

Summary

An object was seen for 1.5 hours at Langley AFB, Virginia, in March 1966. Three witnesses, including an Air Force officer, described it as a bright white light, similar in size to a pea held at arm's length. The object remained stationary throughout the observation period, showing no movement or sound. Despite the use of high-powered binoculars, no additional details were observed, and no physical evidence was recorded. The witnesses located the object at different azimuth and elevation angles, causing some confusion about its exact position.

The investigation concluded that the phenomenon was likely the planet Venus, visible as the "morning star." However, the calculated positions did not exactly match astronomical data, suggesting possible perception or measurement errors. Although no definitive explanation was found, the report ruled out the possibility of an anomalous unidentified object. The case was closed without further action or follow-up.
