At 0145Z on 1 September (year per HQ USAF AFOIN routing, contemporary 1955), boys at Temple Hills, Maryland (south of Washington DC, near Andrews AFB) observed a round white object, sometimes appearing as one, sometimes two, traveling northeast to southwest. Sky was cloudy with 6000 scattered, 22000 overcast. Surface winds SSW 10-15 knots. A searchlight was active in the area. Local showers reported. HQ USAF AFOIN duty officer Lt Cdr Guild estimated the sighting was reflection of searchlight on clouds.
