La Habra, CaliforniaJuly 1955

Unidentified

Summary

On July 14, 1955, at La Habra, California, a civilian reported one object for about fifteen seconds. The sighting was seen from the ground.

The object was oblong and dark brown, estimated to be the size of a dime held at arm's length. It appeared to travel faster than a jet.

The Air Force card lists the conclusion as probably aircraft. The comments note aircraft activity in the area at the time, and say the source possibly saw one of those aircraft.
