This document is a UFOB Index Card detailing a civilian sighting that occurred on March 18, 1955, at 0335 Z in Twenty-Nine Palms, California. The witness reported observing a single, round object, described as being the size of a quarter held at arm's length and likely white in color. The object was observed to drift back and forth for approximately ten minutes before the observer lost sight of it. The evaluating agency, the 4602d AISS, concluded that the object was 'possibly a balloon.' This conclusion was based on the fact that the sighting took place in the vicinity of numerous weather stations that conduct regular balloon releases at 0300 Z. The report notes that winds at the time of the sighting were blowing to the East at altitudes between 30,000 and 50,000 feet. Because the agency deemed it improbable that further investigation would yield additional information, no further action was taken regarding the incident.
Due to the improbability of further investigation uncovering any more information, no other action was taken at this organization (4602d AISS).
