Narrative

At approximately 16:38 on 8 October 1955, Mr. (name redacted), a former U.S. Navy Quartermaster, and Mr. (name redacted), while installing a television antenna 1 mile north of Loogootee, Indiana, observed the object passing overhead traveling east-south-east at estimated 5,000 feet altitude and speed estimated 'in excess of 1,000 miles per hour.' Object left no visible trail and made no audible sound; observed for 10-15 seconds. Day was extremely clear, sun shining brightly, sky 100% cloudless, visibility and ceiling unlimited, no surface wind. Observer compared object to piston and jet aircraft seen in service and stated it was 'definitely not an airplane of any type that I have ever seen.' Reported by Commanding Officer, U.S. Naval Ammunition Depot, Crane, Indiana.
