TL;DR

A CIA report regarding a 1955 sighting of an unconventional flying object in the USSR. The witness describes a rotating, light-emitting object that moved at high speed near a train.

This document is a Central Intelligence Agency report detailing a sighting of an unconventional flying object on October 4, 1955, in the USSR. The witness, traveling by train from Baku, observed the object during twilight. Initially, the object appeared as a partially deflated balloon with a slight dome on top. It rose vertically from the ground and exhibited two light sources: a white light on top and a light on the perimeter, which produced a glow similar to an aircraft engine exhaust with a trace of pink. The object rotated in a clockwise direction like a pinwheel. When it reached an altitude of 10-15 degrees from the horizon, it stopped, then moved toward the train at a tremendous speed, appearing to pass over it. The witness estimated the object's size to be comparable to a MIG-15. The witness noted that a companion in the same compartment did not see the object, suggesting the companion might have been instructed to lower the blinds earlier. The train arrived at its destination, Adzhikabul (Haji-Qabul), approximately 40 minutes after the sighting.

I just saw a flying saucer! We had been talking and had not looked outside for some time. When we turned our attention to the window, we did not see anything unusual as the light was on in the compartment and it was twilight outside.
