Jacksonville UFO 1950, Three Objects Seen in 15 Minutes

Summary

In July 1950, Jacksonville, Florida, witnessed a series of unidentified flying object sightings. A group of people in the city center observed a bright object moving slowly across the sky, emitting no noise or flames. It was described as a golden sphere with violet flashes, hovering in place while slowly ascending. Witnesses agreed it was neither an airplane nor a weather balloon, and many associated it with a "flying saucer."

A day earlier, at 4 a.m., another witness heard an unusual roar in the sky, followed by the appearance of three objects moving in concentric circles at high altitude. These emitted red and violet flashes and behaved like wobbling discs. Military authorities denied knowledge of such craft, fueling public curiosity. The sightings occurred every 15 minutes, suggesting a deliberate and repeated presence in Jacksonville's skies.
