Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency release, dated 2005-07-13, is a short observer's report of an unidentified flying object seen on 6 December 1956. The writer describes a red flare with short tails, flying 10 to 12 miles out to sea at an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 feet and 750 to 1000 miles per hour. It matched a missile's altitude near T plus 95 seconds, then turned east and kept going until T plus 330 seconds. The report mentions a similar sighting on the night of a failed Jupiter launch.
