Agusan fireball

A flaming object seen coming down into jungle in Agusan Province, Mindanao, in July 1963 caused alarm and appears in US Air Force UFO files.

1963 CE · 8.95, 125.53 · status: explained

The sceptical view

The US Air Force attributed it to the re-entry of an Atlas missile launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, the 'impact' being an illusion of its curving descent.
