Sighting of Unconventional Flying Object
AI-Generated Summary
A 1955 CIA intelligence report documenting a witness account of an unconventional flying object observed from a train in the USSR. The object was described as a rotating, light-emitting craft resembling a deflated balloon.
This intelligence report details a sighting of an unconventional flying object by travelers on a train journey from Baku to Tiflis, USSR, on October 4, 1955. The witnesses observed the object during twilight after the train had stopped at Alyat. The object was described as resembling a partially deflated balloon with a slight dome on top, roughly the size of a MIG-15. It was observed rising vertically from the ground, rotating in a clockwise direction like a pinwheel, and emitting two light sources—one white light on top and another on the perimeter. The object eventually stopped at an altitude of 10-15 degrees above the horizon before moving away at a tremendous speed. The report notes that the object did not appear to change size as it approached. The witness also mentions an interaction with a train attendant who did not acknowledge the sighting, possibly due to instructions to keep the blinds closed. The train arrived at its destination, Adzhikabul, approximately 40 minutes after the sighting occurred.
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.
