UFO seen near Annandale in 1966

Summary

In August 1966, two witnesses in Annandale, Virginia, observed an unidentified flying object described as round and colored silver, green, and red. The object moved erratically, speeding up and slowing down before stopping completely. One witness initially saw it with the naked eye and later with binoculars. Although no photos or physical evidence were collected, the conclusion was that it could have been a conventional aircraft. However, the object's unusual movement and appearance suggest otherwise.

The official report notes that the object appeared in the sky, moved south, and then halted. Despite multiple calls, only one detailed report was recorded. The investigation found no radar traces or other sightings in the area. The officer in charge considered the possibility of a satellite but could not confirm it. The case remains unresolved, added to the list of unexplained aerial phenomena from that era.
