White UFO seen in Berlin in 1948

Summary

In 1948, a former German guided missile expert reported a white unidentified flying object observed over Berlin, Germany. The object was moving rapidly from south to north at an altitude of 14 kilometers, appearing as a white point in the sky. The witness described it as round and observed it from the ground, without taking photos or sketches. Although no visible maneuvers were noted, the speed and clear trajectory of the object drew attention. This report, though brief, is an example of early serious records of unexplained aerial phenomena in the post-war period.

The report, dated January 20, 1948, was processed by the ATIC (Air Technical Intelligence Center) and preserved in a provisional format. The testimony lacks additional details, but its objective nature and the credibility of the witness make it an interesting document for UFO researchers. The simple description of the object and its linear movement reflect the confusion and mystery surrounding such phenomena at that time.
