Red UFO over Denver 1966

Summary

A couple in Denver, Colorado, observed a bright red object in 1966. The object appeared as a fiery ball moving slowly at first, resembling a burning plane or a helicopter with a flare. However, the object made no noise and behaved unusually. As they approached, the object suddenly accelerated and vanished. The witness, familiar with aircraft, ruled out conventional explanations and concluded it was a UFO.

The official report notes the lack of precise data for evaluation. No photos were taken and no physical evidence was found. The observer, concerned about ridicule, delayed reporting the experience. Despite his aviation knowledge, he could not identify the object with certainty. The case remains unresolved, adding another mystery to the UFO history in Colorado.
