Insufficient Data

Summary

On July 8, 1955, a witness near Arlington, California saw a round, white object in the sky. The object flew in a straight line toward the east. It was in sight for about a few seconds. This was a ground visual sighting. The witness believed the object was a meteor.

The report was filed on Project 10073, the Air Force's official record for unidentified flying object reports. The card lists two findings. It marks the object as probably a balloon, and it also marks it as astronomical (a meteor). The card does not resolve the difference between the two notes.
