Narrative

On 31 August 1955 at 2120 EDST (1 September 0120Z), a citizen of Trenton, New Jersey, called the Operations section to report a strange round amber basketball-sized object hovering near his home. The observer happened to notice it. Object moved in straight line and faded out over 15 minutes. McGuire AFB confirmed no weather balloons were released. ADDC could not identify on radar. Conclusion: possibly balloon.
