Unidentified flying object seen in the Pacific in 1966

Summary

In April 1966, a group of six witnesses in the Pacific observed an unusual aerial phenomenon. The object initially appeared as a fireball, which broke into two pieces the size of peas. It had a brilliant white core with red and blue fringes at the trailing edge of the flame. After an initial descent, it split into two parts that continued to fall for about five more seconds. The observers, including the pilot, considered the possibility of a destroyed missile or a meteorite. No satellite decay was reported that day, supporting the meteor hypothesis.

The event was accurately documented, including geographic coordinates and detailed descriptions. Although radar instruments could not track the object, the witnesses agreed on the visual description. The weather at the time was favorable, with unlimited visibility and a haze layer at a certain altitude. No physical evidence was found, but the detailed description and multiple witnesses confirm the seriousness of the report.
