AF Form 112 (FLYOBRPT 14 Feb 55) — 1955-02-14 — 5 miles north of Milan, Missouri (State Highway 5)
Narrative
On 14 February 1955 at 2315Z (dusk), civilian observers on State Highway 5, five miles north of Milan, Missouri observed a single metallic reflecting object. The object appeared directly in path-reflection, very high, hovering. Observers drove out of sight of the object after approximately 5 seconds. Clear and calm conditions, sun very bright. Investigation officer Capt Lawrence B. Watson noted brevity of sighting (5 seconds) and delay in receipt of preliminary report, so no subsequent investigation directed; helicopter could possibly have caused the sighting.
