Muehlheim, Germany, November 1956November 1956

Insufficient Data

Summary

On November 21, 1956, at about 9:05 p.m. local time, a civilian saw one stationary light over Muehlheim, Germany. The witness was a pedestrian. The light stayed in view for about 30 seconds.

The report described a stationary orange colored light seen in the Great Bear constellation. It looked similar to the planet Mars in color and size. The light blinked two or three times and then disappeared. The witness did not believe it was an aircraft.

The Air Force noted that Mars was near the Great Bear constellation at the time of the report. No evaluation was attempted on the limited data, and the case was listed as insufficient data. Project 10073 was the Air Force's official record system for reports of unidentified flying objects.
