UFO Sighting Report — Ent AFB, Colorado, August 1965

On August 2, 1965, a sighting of two unidentified objects was reported by four witnesses at the North Gate of the Air Force Academy in Colorado. The witnesses included three Air Police personnel and one nurse. The objects were described as having a bright silver glow and being the size of a pea held at arm's length. They were observed at an altitude of 10,000 to 15,000 feet, initially located 8 to 10 miles apart before moving closer together to within 4 to 5 miles. The objects appeared almost stationary, with some bobbing motion, before losing altitude and disappearing behind mountains. They were observed for durations of 20 minutes, 30 minutes, and 5 minutes. The Air Force conducted an investigation, contacting NORAD, the Space Track Directorate, the 71st Surveillance Wing, the FAA, and local airport control towers. All agencies provided negative responses. The final conclusion of the Air Force was that the objects were astronomical in nature, likely the star Arcturus, or potentially other stars, aircraft, or satellites. The report notes that while a major meteor shower was due on August 12, the objects did not fit the description of meteors.
