Green UFO over Columbus Ohio in 1966

Summary

A witness in Columbus, Ohio, reported a bright green object that suddenly appeared in the sky in July 1966. The phenomenon was visible for three seconds, not allowing for a detailed observation. The report classifies the sighting as "Astro (meteor)", suggesting it could have been a meteor. However, the observer's testimony describes a sudden bright light that turned off abruptly, adding mystery to the case. Despite the short duration, the official report considers the observation consistent with a conventional aerial object, although other explanations are not ruled out.

The document, part of a U.S. Air Force technical form, shows how information about unidentified flying objects was collected in the 1960s. The observer did not provide additional details about the object's size, shape, or behavior, limiting the possibility of a precise identification. Nevertheless, the case remains an interesting example of how civilian testimonies were recorded and analyzed in search of clues about unexplained aerial phenomena.
