Narrative

On 5 May 1956 at 0230Z, a clergyman in Marinette, Wisconsin who is also an amateur astronomer reported observing objects in three formations under unrestricted heavens with only scattered clouds. Each object or formation appeared for a short duration. The 4602D AISS investigator concluded the unrestricted visibility, the objects' color matching that of meteors, the short duration of each formation, the distance traveled, and the insufficient time for the observer to use binoculars all indicated the celerity of the objects. ATIC concurred via Capt. G. T. Gregory and asked for further follow-up data including formation duration and intervals. Flight 3-A, 4602D AISS conducted the investigation.
