UFO sighted in Lewiston Maine in 1966

Summary

In April 1966, a witness in Lewiston, Maine, reported seeing an object described as a meteor. The object had a round front section about the size of a pea, with a tail as long as two extended index fingers. It appeared bluish-white with golden sparks coming from the tail. The observer, riding a motorcycle, pointed it out to another person, who also confirmed the sighting. Despite being classified as a meteor, the detailed description and lack of sound generated some curiosity.

The report includes precise weather data and directions, and both observers were considered reliable. The Air Force concluded it was likely a meteor, but other possibilities were not ruled out. This case, like many others, highlights the complexity of interpreting unusual aerial phenomena and the importance of historical records for future research.
