On 21 June 1956 at 0255Z, a single round white object with a red dot in the middle was observed near Waterloo, Iowa by an observer who was out with his girlfriend looking at the stars. Object was 30 degrees up, went straight up southeast, observed for 30 minutes via ground visual and 6-power binoculars. No surface winds, few clouds, southeast wind at 6 knots, 12,000-foot broken ceiling. Conclusion: possibly astronomical, Saturn (based on position of Saturn).
