UFO 1947, Sighting near Cape Blanco, Oregon

Summary

In November 1947, a maritime officer reported two flying objects off the coast of Oregon. They were estimated to travel at speeds between 700 and 900 mph, following a 270-degree course. The incident lasted about 45 seconds, drawing attention due to their unusual speed and trajectory. Although the report suggested the objects could be meteor fragments, other explanations were not ruled out. The official document, though brief, reflects the uncertainty of the time regarding such phenomena.

The report does not offer a definitive conclusion, but points to the possibility that the observed objects were parts of a meteor that broke apart upon entering the atmosphere. However, it also notes that the duration of the sighting might have been overestimated for psychological reasons. The lack of precise data and the recurrence of similar sightings in other areas suggest this was not an isolated event. This case is part of a series of unexplained incidents analyzed within the context of projects like Project Grudge.
