Summary

In April 1966, a civilian in Miles City, Montana, reported seeing two unidentified flying objects for about 10 minutes. According to the report, the objects were aligned and separated by approximately five degrees. The witness claimed they shone intensely, even brighter than the sun, and one emitted light for a minute before disappearing. However, local authorities deemed the individual highly unreliable, noting he had no military background and held strong religious beliefs. The report concludes the testimony lacks credibility and suggests the observer likely imagined the sighting.

The report details that the witness, a 31-year-old unemployed man, claimed the objects came from the center of the Earth and signaled the end of the world. The interview with the individual was difficult, as he only answered direct questions and did not provide detailed descriptions on his own. Local officials confirmed the individual was extremely unreliable and could not be considered a credible source. The document, classified and later declassified, concludes the sighting was an illusion generated by the observer's mind, possibly influenced by his religious mindset and interest in supernatural phenomena.
