Golden UFO seen in Indianapolis in 1966

Summary

In September 1966, a witness in Indianapolis, Indiana, reported a golden object that appeared to reflect sunlight like a mirror. The sighting lasted 15 minutes and the object left no smoke or vapor trail. Although initially considered to be the star Capella, the observer noted some movement, which is common in astronomical observations. The official report concluded the object was Capella, but the testimony suggests a more intriguing experience.

The object was ground-observed and described as bright with no visible emissions. The witness noted that the object paused as if searching for something on Earth. Despite the astronomical explanation, the testimony includes details that do not easily fit with a star. This case is part of the Project Blue Book files, which collected reports of unidentified aerial phenomena.
