UFO seen over Brunswick Maine in 1967

Summary

In January 1967, a 17-year-old man in Brunswick, Maine, observed an aerial object that appeared like a piece of burning metal. The witness, employed in a shoe factory, described a yellow object 3 to 4 feet in diameter moving rapidly from west to east. The object emitted a smoky trail and was seen for about one and a half seconds before disappearing behind a hill. The official Air Force report, though classified, offers no explanation for the phenomenon. Clear and calm weather conditions were recorded, and the observer was deemed reliable. Despite considering other possibilities, such as weather balloons, no conclusive explanation was provided. The object was estimated to be traveling at 188 mph and at an altitude of 1960 feet, adding to the mystery of this unresolved case.
