Bright UFO seen in Grants Pass in 1966

Summary

In August 1966, two witnesses in Grants Pass, Oregon, reported a bright object moving toward the southeast. The phenomenon was described as a whitish star-like light, brighter than Venus. Observers noted pulsations in the light and slight variations in direction. The observation lasted about three minutes. Although satellite was considered, the data did not allow a definitive conclusion. The description matched previous satellite observations, suggesting a celestial origin, though other explanations were not ruled out.

The report included weather conditions and the exact location of the sighting. Witnesses used a telescope, adding credibility to their account. However, no physical evidence or confirmed photographs were found. Preliminary analysis concluded the object could be celestial, like a meteor, but the nature of the sighting remained unresolved.
