Insufficient Data

Summary

On July 9, 1955, at Newport Beach, California, a civilian reported one object. The duration was unknown. The object moved from the witness's location toward San Diego.

The object looked like a flying saucer, gray-white in color, and was estimated to be about 2,000 feet above the ocean. It seemed to rotate on its axis. It was flying at a slow speed and disappeared into a cloud.

The Air Force ordered a limited follow-up investigation, but no follow-up was received. The case is carried as insufficient data for evaluation.
