White UFO seen in Alaska in 1966

Summary

A witness at Cold Bay, Alaska, reported a white object appearing near the runway at a height of 50-75 feet. When the runway lights were turned on to better identify it, the object accelerated rapidly, preventing the observer from using binoculars. It then veered southwest and climbed. The lights were steady, though they seemed affected by the air. The sighting lasted three seconds and the object remained unidentified. The airbase checked radar records but found no activity that could explain the phenomenon. Despite the investigation, the case remains unsolved.
