UFO falling near Condon Oregon 1966

Summary

An officer observed a luminous object falling near Condon, Oregon, on June 8, 1966. The object, trailing fire, appeared to be burning as it moved at low altitude. The observer initially thought it might be a damaged aircraft, but there were no reports of downed planes in the area. The phenomenon lasted between 3 and 4 seconds, and although no physical evidence was found, the testimony clearly describes an object in free fall that fragmented and burned in the air.

The incident description includes details such as the object's direction, fire intensity, and the lack of confirmation of a crashed aircraft. Despite the report suggesting it could be an aircraft, there are no records supporting this theory. The object behaved unusually, with pieces detaching and burning before hitting the ground. This case, though brief, shows how witnesses of the time tried to explain unexplained aerial phenomena with the available information.
