Insufficient Data

Summary

On May 12, 1955, a civilian reported a single object. The exact city is not given in the record. The sighting lasted about four to five minutes.

The object was round and red, about the size of a dime held at arm's length. It remained stationary the whole time it was watched.

The Air Force record lists the case as possibly a beacon. Officials noted the red glowing object stayed still in the area of a beacon light. Because of this, no investigation was authorized.
