BRANDENBURG, KENTUCKYNovember 1954

Insufficient Data

Summary

In November 1954, a witness in Brandenburg, Kentucky saw two stationary objects high in the sky. The objects were not particularly bright, but appeared to be reflecting sunlight. The witness observed them for about ten minutes.

The witness described the objects as similar to weather balloons in appearance, with their tops showing more luminosity. They remained motionless throughout the observation period. The Air Force's official evaluation of this case was "probably balloon." The objects are noted in the file as appearing to reflect light from the sun.

This 29-page case file is reproduced below as held by the National Archives.
