White UFO seen over Melbourne in 1952

Summary

In May 1952, multiple witnesses in Melbourne, Australia, reported seeing a bright white object with a vapor trail. They described a bullet-shaped object traveling at high speed from east to west at an estimated altitude of 5000 feet. Initially thought to be a balloon or aircraft, witnesses agreed it was faster than any known plane. Testimonies from drivers, pilots, and residents described intense lights without noise, creating confusion about its nature. The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) investigated the case, concluding it was likely a meteor or astronomical phenomenon, though other explanations were not ruled out.
