Marianna, Fla, December 1955December 1955

Insufficient Data

Summary

On December 6, 1955, an object was tracked on radar starting over Marianna, Florida. The report came from a military flight service center. The sighting was at night.

The object was first picked up on aircraft radar over Marianna at about 15,000 feet. It then climbed to about 30,000 feet and moved toward Montgomery, Alabama, in about five minutes. It was last reported over Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama. The detection was made by radar, not by eye, so no color or shape was given.

The case is filed under Project 10073, the Air Force's official record for unidentified flying object reports. The Air Force conclusion was INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR EVALUATION.
