UFO in Minot North Dakota 1966

Summary

An observer in Minot, North Dakota, reported seeing seven yellowish objects moving rapidly southward, followed by another. The incident occurred on the early morning of August 12, 1966, and lasted only a few seconds. The report classified the objects as possibly meteors, although their instantaneous movement in formation raised questions. The witness, a taxi dispatcher, described the objects as glowing discs with a continuous light.

Minot Air Force Base recorded the sighting and sent it to Wright-Patterson AFB for analysis. Although there was no physical evidence or photographs, clear weather conditions and the presence of other aircraft in the area were noted. Ultimately, the objects were considered meteors, though the report did not rule out the possibility of an unusual phenomenon.
