Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency information report, dated October 1955, relays observations of a flying object in the USSR. On three evenings in July and August 1954, observers about 30 km west of Saransk saw a white, drop-shaped luminous object brighter than a shooting star. It crossed about 60 degrees of sky in roughly a second, and other people saw the same thing on other days. The evaluator's comment says the type of object cannot be inferred from such scanty statements.
