UFOB Index Card AISS-UFOB-228-55

This UFOB Index Card (AISS-UFOB-228-55) documents a sighting that occurred in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 1955, at 0340Z. The report involves two civilian witnesses, a husband and wife, who observed five objects appearing at intervals over their house over a period of 20 minutes. The witnesses described the objects as orange (according to the husband) or yellow (according to the wife). Regarding their movement, the first two objects appeared in the east and traveled north and north-west. The third object appeared in the north and traveled south, while the final two objects were observed in the east traveling east. The witnesses did not use any visual aids and were reportedly positive that the objects were not aircraft. The duration of the individual observations was between five and fifteen seconds. The document notes that a neighbor, who was also an observer, dismissed the event as 'shooting stars' and remained unexcited. The official conclusion reached by the headquarters was that the descriptions provided by the sources could fit the profile of a meteorite shower, and the sighting was attributed to possible meteor activity.
