UFO sighted in Nigeria in 1966

Summary

In April 1966, a witness in Nigeria described an object crossing the sky at high speed. The observer, an experienced aviator, stated that the object moved about 50 degrees of arc in one minute, indicating an extraordinary speed. The object made no sound and shone like a first magnitude star, blinking twice per second. The witness, with over 4000 flight hours, concluded it was neither a satellite nor a conventional aircraft.

The object's description suggests it was hard to see except for its blinking light. The official report classifies it as "possibly an aircraft," but the witness was uncertain. This case is intriguing due to the observer's experience and the detailed description of the object's trajectory and behavior. Although there is no physical evidence or photos, the precise account and lack of sound add mystery to the event.
