Documents / FOIA release
This CIA memorandum dated 6 September 1955 records a traveler's account of an unusual flying object seen from a train at about 7:10 PM, while four members of a party rode in a sleeping car. The witnesses saw a reddish glow like a searchlight on the horizon, then an object with two white lights like eyes that rose vertically and passed over the train silently in about five seconds. The file also includes interrogation notes and interviews describing a rotating, balloon-like shape, and it records that a porter pulled the shades soon afterward.
