Insufficient Data

Summary

On July 1, 1954, five objects were sighted at an unknown location. Witnesses observed a triangle with rounded corners that was orange and luminous, traveling in a straight line. Two separate sightings occurred: the first from south to north, then northeast to southwest. Objects were reported above civil aircraft. The sighting lasted about two minutes. The Air Force concluded the objects were probably aircraft, but noted insufficient data for analysis and no location information.
