UFO identified as satellite Echo II

Summary

A woman in Chicago observed a bright object in April 1966. From her porch, she saw a very bright white light, similar to a 100-watt bulb. The object moved south and disappeared behind a tree. The observation lasted 15 minutes and was confirmed by her husband and sons. Authorities concluded the object was the satellite Echo II, which was west of Chicago at the time. Despite the explanation, the witness insisted the experience was memorable and real to her.
