UFO seen over Morgantown in 1949

Summary

In March 1949, a man in Morgantown, West Virginia, observed an unidentified flying object moving rapidly across the sky. He described a round, flat object resembling a barrel lid, with a yellowish color and a glowing trail. The object traveled at high speed with no significant noise and was visible for only a few seconds before disappearing. The witness, a businessman with some knowledge of astronomy, insisted it was not a natural phenomenon or an airplane.

A week later, the same witness saw another object shaped like a flattened funnel, with a reddish tint, following the same route. Although there were no weather effects or strange odors, the man was certain both objects were real and did not match anything known. His detailed and consistent testimony was submitted without revealing his full identity, and no conclusive physical evidence was found. The report concluded it might be a meteor, though the descriptions didn't fully align with that explanation.
