Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency information report, dated October 1955, gives a traveler's account of a sighting made from a slow train on 4 October 1955. The source says the party watched a triangular object about the size of a jet fighter, with a light at each point and lit by a searchlight, launched from an airfield about two miles away. It made several fast spirals and then climbed steeply to high altitude. The source says a steward pulled down the blinds while they watched. Place names are redacted.
