Narrative

From 0100Z to 0600Z 20 April 1956 in Minneapolis MN, Major Brown, staff weather officer, plus his wife and two sons observed through 6x30 binoculars a solid octangular aluminum-colored object remaining stationary at 62 degrees elevation 290 degrees azimuth while watching B-47 flying in vapor area. Sky was clear with B-47 contrails. Observed for 5 hours. Conclusion: definitely planet Venus based on stationary nature, duration, color, position, and time of day.
