UFO sighted in Guadalupe, Arizona

Summary

In October 1966, multiple witnesses in Guadalupe, Arizona, reported seeing an oval-shaped object about the size of a nickel. The object was not as bright as the moon and had a visible tail that disappeared when it stopped and then moved north. Investigators concluded it could have been an airplane flying an extended landing pattern, as the described path matched such a maneuver. Although several witnesses confirmed the sighting, one was considered particularly unreliable.

The report includes details about the 15-minute observation and notes that the weather was clear with good visibility. Although photos were taken, no conclusive physical evidence was found. The assigned officer interviewed the witnesses and concluded the description matched an airplane, though the possibility of an unconventional aerial phenomenon was not ruled out.
