RB-122 — 1956-03-15 — Western Pennsylvania / New York airspace (Harrisburg PA, LaG

On 15 March 1956 at night, TWA pilots in flight near Harrisburg PA and over varied points (Martin 404 TWA 121 at 8000 ft over LaGuardia heading to Harrisburg; Connie TWA 96 at 11000 ft heading to Chicago) along with a ground observer in Harrisburg reported a brilliant orange-red glowing object with a trail four to five times its length, traveling level south to north. ATIC reviewers later requested further investigation, noting the object size of a quarter with tail size of a transport aircraft, and queried whether observers had seen meteors before. AISOP concluded it was probably a meteor based on duration, description, and being seen over varied points.
