Circular UFO seen in Fort Wayne in 1966

Summary

In September 1966, a witness in Fort Wayne, Indiana, reported a bright circular object slightly larger than a grapefruit. The object was described as silvery white, very bright, and moving from northeast to southwest before changing direction to west and then northeast. Although it faded from view, its smooth and rapid maneuver caught attention. The initial report lacked sufficient data for a full evaluation, but military analysts concluded it could be an aircraft. The observer's description, while detailed, lacked altitude or speed estimates, limiting further analysis.

The case was reviewed by Project Blue Book, which requested more information from the witness. However, the final report concluded there was no conclusive evidence of an unconventional nature. Despite the lack of technical data, the observer's description was considered valid, though the object's identity could not be determined with certainty. The most plausible explanation, given the available information, pointed to an aircraft operating under instrument flight conditions.
