Red and green UFO seen in Washington in 1966

Summary

In August 1966, a witness in Washington, D.C., reported an object that briefly appeared in the north and then reappeared minutes later. The object displayed unusual colors, such as red and green when high in the sky, and red and yellow as it descended. The observer, driving a car, saw the object for a few seconds and then lost sight of it, only to spot it again later. The description suggests it could have been a meteor or even an illuminated cloud. However, the report includes doubts about the consistency of the observation, especially whether the second object seen was the same as the first.

The report includes criticism of the reporting form, noting that key questions were missing to verify the validity of the observation. For example, it didn’t ask if the observer stopped or if there were other witnesses. Additionally, it questions whether the colors observed could correspond to stars or artificial lights. Despite the doubts, the case is interesting for the precision in describing colors and movements, and for the involvement of experts who analyzed the report to improve investigation methods.
