Narrative

On 12 September 1956 at 0422Z, a 31-year-old TV newsman in Olympia, Washington (sighting location SE of Olympia) observed two separate round bluish-white ball-shaped objects the size of a dime. Objects observed at 25 degrees S to 25 degrees NE elevation, arced to 30 degrees, faded out after 40 seconds. After explosion, a sheet of light fell silently. Observed via ground visual and binoculars. MATS weather station reported balloon over Seattle area; investigation ruled out a Portland-launched balloon as it could not have been in Olympia area at time of sighting. A jet was observed flying west to east north of T-O-W-N, saw what appeared to be a star shell explode at 2845 in southerly direction 10-degree azimuth.
