Narrative

On 17 October 1954, an observer in the Sandia Mountains near Albuquerque, New Mexico sighted a single circular white object, no discernible details, no tail/trail/exhaust, traveling at extremely fast speed with no sound. Submitted as compliance report under AFR 200-2. Headquarters (Captain Charles I. Dewees) concluded the sighting was believed to be misinterpretation of a conventional aircraft in a turn reflecting the sun's rays. No physical evidence obtained.
