Insufficient Data

Summary

On April 16, 1959, at Kunsan Air Base, Korea, observers reported two objects in the night sky. The sighting was reported through the Air Force's unidentified flying object record system.

The first object was oblong and about the size of a silver dollar. It had two white lights and appeared to reflect light from its bottom, and it maneuvered. The second object was only a light and traveled a straight path. The sky had thin scattered clouds at about 3,000 to 4,000 feet.

The record card noted it was possible a light source was reflecting off a cloud.
