AI-Generated Summary
A civilian in Pendleton, Oregon, reported a 1-2 second sighting of a small, white, saucer-shaped object on April 28, 1955. The military concluded the event was likely astronomical or a misidentified contrail and did not pursue further investigation.
This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and a corresponding UFOB Index Card detailing a sighting that occurred on April 28, 1955, in Pendleton, Oregon. A civilian witness reported observing a single, white, saucer-shaped object, estimated to be one foot in diameter, moving in a northerly direction. The observation lasted only one to two seconds. The witness noted the presence of vapor trails. Official records indicate that the sighting occurred under poor weather conditions, specifically light rain and overcast skies. Military analysis concluded that there was no correlation with radar or weather data. The final assessment suggested the object was possibly astronomical in nature, potentially a meteor, or a misinterpretation of a peculiar contrail formation. Because of the extremely brief duration of the event, the military determined that further investigation was not warranted.
Due to the brevity of sighting, 1-2 seconds, further investigation was not deemed worthwhile.
