Narrative

On 19 April 1956 at 0230Z, a stenographer and machinist in Traverse City, Michigan reported a round deep yellow object with red tail very high in the western sky at 270 degrees azimuth, moving north and south, fading out after two hours. The 752nd AC&W concluded the sighting was the planet Venus (which comes into view after dark and dips to the western horizon at that time of year). The 4602D AISS had received many similar reports in the prior six weeks.
