Narrative

At 0015Z on 4 August 1955, a ground visual sighting was made of one round object displaying red, orange, and yellow colors near McDonald, Pennsylvania at dusk. The object moved slowly on a 45-degree incline and then faded. Local civilian air traffic was in the area and 71st FIS could not pinpoint specific aircraft. Conclusion was possibly aircraft, with colors suggesting reflected sunlight just prior to sunset during light rain.
