Object like a bright meteor split into two pieces, Olden Moore Case. Explanation: Meteor.

Olden Moore, 28, a plasterer was driving home when he suddenly saw an object looking like a bright meteor split into two pieces, one of which went straight up. The other got larger while its color changed from bright white to blue-green. It hovered 60 meters above a field and came to the ground with a soft whirring sound, 150 meters away. After observing it for 15 minutes, Moore then walked to the object, which he found to be shaped like "a covered dish" 15 meters in diameter, five meters high, with a cone on top about three meters high, surrounded by haze or fog, pulsating slowly. Holes, footprints and radioactivity were found at the site by Civil Defense Director Kenneth Locke.


A hovering flying disc was observed. Radioactivity was detected. Men in black later interviewed witnesses.

One blue-green ball, about 80 feet across, around 500 feet away, was observed by a radio operator, age 28, on a farm for over 15 minutes (Olden J Moore).


Hynek rating: CE2: Close Encounters of the Second Kind
Vallee rating: CE2: A CE1 that leaves landing traces or injuries to the witness.
