WBOOT 2529 — 1956-08-15 — Harvey, Illinois

At 0325Z on 15 August 1956 near Harvey, Illinois, a 33-year-old civilian observed a single circular object ten times as large as a star, color-shifting white to blue to amber, looking like a half-dollar at 45 degrees rotating about its axis. Shot sparks or rays, with a piece separating then rejoining; later swung like a pendulum. Observed moving east, still in sight after two hours. Naked eye and field glasses used. Weather clear. Witness noted similar sighting one week earlier by five other people. Reported by Lt Pinson.
