Summary

In March 1949, a witness in Morgantown, West Virginia, reported seeing a yellowish disc-shaped object moving at high speed across the sky. The testimony describes an object about 18 inches in diameter, 20 miles away, emitting a bright yellow trail. The object appeared on March 15 and reappeared on March 28, following the same route and trajectory. Local authorities found no flight records at the time, adding mystery to the case.

The report, conducted by the Air Force's Project Grudge, includes weather details and the witness's account, who insisted there were no effects on clouds or strange odors. Despite no conventional explanations, the case remains one of many UFO reports from that era, questioning exactly what the witness saw.
