Narrative

At 0510Z on 23 August 1955, a Sacramento family observed a single flat pear-shaped amber object with strange maneuvers and a streak behind it. The object came up in the south, went to the southwest, made a 90-degree turn, came straight overhead, and climbed straight out of sight over 45 seconds. Observed visually and with binoculars. Weather clear. Conclusion was possibly aircraft - jet exhaust or afterburner, as an amber-colored exhaust of a high-flying jet could be visible at night when the jet itself was not.
