Double UFOs sighted in Vermont in 1966

Summary

In April 1966, two witnesses in Middlebury, Vermont, reported seeing two unusual luminous objects. They described lights ranging from yellow to white, red, and green, appearing about 30 degrees above the horizon. One object disappeared suddenly, while the other remained stationary in the sky for 15 minutes. The observers initially thought it was an aircraft, specifically a B-52 performing a maneuver in the area. However, when the lights disappeared, one witness noticed a bright star, likely Jupiter, leading to the conclusion that the confusion stemmed from aircraft navigation lights and the subsequent identification of a star.

The Air Force investigation considered the lights consistent with those of a maneuvering aircraft, including the typical red, white, and green navigation lights. It was noted that the observer who mentioned a light disappearing and another hovering might have mistaken a star for an aerial object. The report concluded there was no physical evidence and that the most plausible explanation was the presence of a well-lit aircraft in the area, though the possibility of an unidentified phenomenon was not entirely ruled out.
