UFO seen near the Moon in Iowa

Summary

An observer in Oelwein, Iowa, reported an unidentified aerial phenomenon on October 18, 1967. While photographing the moon, they noticed a bright object to its right. Initially thought to be a star, the object was observed to move slowly southward after retrieving binoculars. What first appeared as a single light was later seen as four aligned points. The report suggests a possible connection to Saturn or an artificial satellite, though no definitive identification was made. The sighting lasted about 19 minutes and prompted an official response from the Air Force, requesting further details and photographs of the event.
