SH-UFOB-1-56 — 1956-02-22 — Hampton-Sydney, Virginia

On 22 February 1956 at 0615Z (night, with almost half moon), several students at Hampton-Sydney College in Virginia observed a round, silver-dollar-sized flashing object that changed color from red to green to blue with bright white moments. The object bobbed up and down at 63 degrees southwest, 3 feet above tree top, vibrating in flight. A second object appeared after the first faded. Observed for 45 minutes via telescope, binoculars, and compass. The lead observer, an astronomy student, indicated this was not a shooting star. Flight 3-H was authorized to send one investigator. Possibility of planet Jupiter as cause was considered.
