Bright UFO seen in Vermillion in 1966

Summary

In May 1966, a witness in Vermillion, South Dakota, observed a bright object that appeared to be a very high satellite in the sky. The object blinked approximately every two seconds, with no visible trail, sound, or exhaust. As it zigzagged and moved from northeast to southwest, its unusual behavior drew attention. Although the Air Force considered it a possible aircraft, the description hints at something more mysterious.

The official report, under Project 10073, describes a ground visual observation lasting two minutes. The witness, a 21-year-old man, saw the object from the ground, unable to identify its exact nature. The lack of noise and the object's erratic path raised questions about whether it was a satellite or an unknown phenomenon. Despite the official assessment, the object's description and behavior remain intriguing.
