1A-UFOB-1 — 1954-11-19 — Corvallis (Oregon State College campus, Oregon)

On 19 November 1954 from 4:15 to 4:27 PM PST, an Assistant Professor of Art at Oregon State College observed an object due west of Hall (second floor) at about 50 degrees elevation. Initially a short diagonal white line, the shape rotated to horizontal and developed a fluttering ripple over its surface. After about eight minutes, the north end bent downward and curled under until the object reversed itself end-to-end. The color shifted from intense white to a slight pink tint; a dark spot appeared on what had been the north end. The object then drifted southward and faded. The observer was a trained Naval aircraft identification officer and gave an unusually detailed first-hand account.
