Spherical bright UFO seen in Albany Oregon

Summary

In April 1966, a witness in Albany, Oregon, reported seeing an unidentified object described as round and very bright white. The object, said to be the size of a dime held at arm's length, was moving rapidly toward the southeast. According to the report, the object was seen for about a minute before disappearing from view. Although considered consistent with an aircraft, the object's characteristics and speed did not fully match those of a conventional plane.

The report includes weather details and the witness's observations, with no physical evidence noted. While the sighting was concluded to be consistent with an aircraft, the object's description and behavior suggest it could have been something unusual. This case is part of many reports from the era that generated interest in unexplained aerial phenomena.
