AI-Generated Summary
Two UFOB index cards document sightings by a 15-year-old in Glennavon, California, on July 14, 1955. The AISS concluded the objects were likely jet aircraft exhaust.
This document consists of two UFOB Index Cards (AISS-UFOB-220-55 and AISS-UFOB-218-55) detailing sightings reported by a 15-year-old student in Glennavon, California, on July 14, 1955. The first sighting occurred at 0432Z and lasted approximately three minutes. The witness described a single, round, red and white object, estimated to be the size of a dime held at arm's length, which traveled west and then straight up. The witness asserted that the object moved faster than a jet aircraft. The second sighting, recorded on a separate card, occurred at 0536Z and lasted four minutes. In this instance, the object was described as a round, red object that traveled east and then west. Again, the witness noted that the object appeared to travel too fast for a jet aircraft. The evaluating agency, AISS, concluded that both sightings were likely the result of the observer viewing the exhaust of jet aircraft from the rear. The cards explicitly state that there was no known balloon activity in the area at the time of the sightings.
In the opinion of this headquarters the observer possibly saw the exhaust of jet aircraft.
