Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency information report, dated 9 August 1955, describes three flying objects seen one August 1953 evening over a camp about 10 km southwest of Shakhty in the USSR. The objects moved from southeast to northwest without sound, glowing reddish like a comet or shooting star. Observers believed they were rockets. Field comments note that earlier Shakhty reports described loud noises and suggest the objects were propelled by a ramjet or rocket engine.
