Declassified UFO / UAP Document
Sighting of Unusual Object
AI-Generated Summary
A report detailing a December 1960 sighting of an incandescent, greenish, disc-like object over the Detroit River area. The primary witness, a physics expert, speculated the object could be related to a missile.
This document is a report from the Detroit Office of the U.S. Government, dated December 16, 1960, regarding a sighting of an unusual object. The report details an incident that occurred on the evening of December 14, 1960, at approximately 6:54 p.m. The primary witness, identified as a doctor in dynamics and physics, observed an object that appeared to be a greenish, off-white light, described as being 'almost like a disc.' The witness noted that the object was incandescent and appeared to be at a very high temperature. It was observed at an elevation of 50 to 55 degrees and descended to approximately 20 degrees before burning out. The witness, drawing upon his professional background, speculated that the object might be related to a missile or similar technology due to its high velocity and temperature. The report also mentions that a student in the witness's class claimed to have seen the object while driving east on Hines Drive, near Telegraph Road, and corroborated the witness's impression of the object's size and speed. A second student was also mentioned as having seen the object, though they had not yet been interviewed at the time of the report.
I am a doctor in dynamics and physics and I know a high temperature when I see it. That's why I would say the object was way up in temperature.
