Blue UFO over Mekoryuk Alaska

Summary

In October 1966, a witness in Mekoryuk, Alaska, reported a blue object in the southern sky. The object was described as resembling an electric light bulb and remained visible for two hours. Before disappearing, it turned a bright red and vanished behind clouds, leaving no smoke, vapor, or sound. The description was consistent with a weather balloon, a common occurrence in the region due to transonic balloons from Japan. Although no physical evidence was found, the sighting was recorded as a typical case with no definitive confirmation.

The lack of noise or trail, along with the color change, generated some curiosity. However, investigators concluded it was likely a weather balloon. This type of sighting was common in Alaska, where transonic balloons often fell. Despite the detailed description, there were no photos or additional testimonies confirming the object’s nature. The report was filed as an unresolved case, but with a plausible explanation.
