UFO in Cheyenne Wyoming 1967

Summary

A witness in Cheyenne, Wyoming, reported an object shaped like a teardrop, measuring between 30 and 40 feet long, with a silvery and fuzzy appearance. The account describes an object moving at high speed, leaving a short and whitish trail, similar to a meteor. The sighting occurred at dawn, with the sun already visible, and the observer located the object on the western horizon, describing a straight descending path. Although no photos were taken and no physical evidence was found, the detailed description of the object and its behavior generated interest.

The official evaluation concluded that the sighting could be explained as a meteor or an optical illusion caused by sunlight reflecting off clouds. Despite an immediate call to the FAA tower, no aircraft activity was recorded in the area at that time. The observer, a clergyman with a college degree, was considered to have average reliability. Weather conditions were ideal for observation, with clear skies and excellent visibility. Although the report does not offer a definitive explanation, it suggests the phenomenon could have a natural cause.
