AISS-UFOB-344-55 — 1955-10-03 — Approximately 40 miles due north of 39 45 N, 76 W (Oxford, P

On 3 October 1955 at 1215R, a CIRVIS report from a Civil Air Patrol pilot described three flying objects at approximately 40,000 feet altitude, 40 miles north of 39 45 N, 76 W (Oxford PA area). One continued north; a second flew west at the same altitude; the third appeared to be dropped from an aircraft flying north, resembling a balloon or pilotless object with a partly-opened-parachute appearance, drifting southeast at about 50 mph before rising to higher altitude and passing from sight. No identification was visible. Flight 3-H, 4602D AISS, was assigned investigation by Maj. Thrasher, with Capt. Chester B. Hanson as officer in charge. M/Sgt Albert C. Sisk investigated.
