UFO sighted in DeLand Florida in 1966

Summary

In September 1966, a young woman in DeLand, Florida, saw a silver or gray object flying straight from north to south. The sighting lasted between 15 and 30 seconds, and although her companion didn't see it, she described the object in detail. The area had several military bases, which led to speculation about its identity. The observer, though sincere, admitted difficulty in estimating heights and distances.

The investigation concluded the object could be an unidentified aircraft, but other possibilities weren't ruled out. There were no reports of significant space or air activity in the area at that time. The lack of physical evidence and additional testimonies kept the mystery alive. The young woman, nervous about being seen as "crazy," didn't report the sighting immediately, complicating the verification of the facts.
