UFO sighted in Cassopolis in 1968

Summary

In November 1968, a 14-year-old in Cassopolis, Michigan, observed a bright object described as a low-flying star. The phenomenon was seen for about 4 minutes and moved in an irregular path from southeast to east. The witness used a telescope to follow the object, which had a rounded shape with a protruding silver pipe. The official conclusion attributed the sighting to the ECHO II satellite, though the testimony includes details suggesting a more mysterious experience.
