Summary

A witness in Oatman, Arizona, described a bright blue object that quickly crossed his window. The event occurred in November 1966 and lasted only two seconds. The object, perfectly round and measuring between 6 and 7 inches in diameter, displayed reddish-orange streaks at the back. Although the observer initially thought it could be a meteor, the described features didn't fully match a natural phenomenon. Additionally, he noticed a faint signal on his radio, adding an intriguing element to the event.

The description of the object and its trajectory, from east to west, at about 20 degrees from vertical, was recorded with precision. The report, part of the U.S. Air Force's Project 10073, concluded that the observation was consistent with a meteor. However, the brief duration and unusual appearance of the object suggest it could have been something else. Despite the lack of tangible physical evidence, this case remains an interesting testimony in the history of UFO investigations.
