Narrative

On 9 August 1955 at 2235Z (1435 PST) in South Bay, California, a 12-year-old student observed a round, yellowish-white object the apparent size of a nickel traveling from west to east in straight, level flight for about 30 seconds. The object made jet-like noise. Heavy air traffic in the San Diego area; investigators concluded the witness probably observed a conventional jet aircraft, given the young age of the observer and the noted jet-like sound.
