Bright object observed over historic Williamsburg, Virginia (1965)

Project Blue Book Case #9242. On January 23, 1965, a bright object was observed over Williamsburg, Virginia — the restored colonial capital and home to the College of William & Mary. Williamsburg's position in the Hampton Roads military complex placed it near Langley AFB, Fort Eustis, and the Naval Weapons Station Yorktown. The historic city saw something its colonial founders couldn't have imagined. The case was classified "Unknown."
