AI-Generated Summary
A 1956 sighting report from Englewood, Colorado, involving a bright white light. The investigation suggested a possible weather balloon or astronomical event but concluded there was insufficient data.
On 6 November 1956, at 0800Z, a witness in Englewood, Colorado, reported observing a single, bright, white object that appeared to be the size of a street light. The object was observed for approximately 30 minutes, during which time it moved up and down before eventually blinking out. The report was processed by the Lowry Flight Service Center and forwarded to various military commands, including the Air Technical Intelligence Center. An investigation into the incident noted that a weather balloon had been released from Stapleton Airport at approximately the same time as the sighting. It was calculated that 60-knot winds aloft would have moved such an object over the course of 30 minutes. While the official conclusion suggested the sighting was likely an astronomical event involving a star or planet, the report explicitly stated that the lack of precise positional data made it impossible to reach a definitive conclusion, ultimately classifying the incident as having insufficient data for evaluation.
Probably Astro sighting of Star/Planet. However, positional data omit[t]ed in report. Insufficient data for evaluation.
