Round UFO seen in Washington in 1952

Summary

In July 1952, a witness in Redondo, Washington, reported seeing a round, glowing object that defied physical laws. The observer, a 28-year-old attorney, described a large object with an orange light that moved slowly and then accelerated suddenly. The object remained stationary for a minute before disappearing in a southeast direction. Initially thought to be a jet, it soon became clear it didn't match any known aircraft. The report includes sketches showing the object's path and position in the sky.

The Air Force classified it as a balloon, but the witness insisted it wasn't an optical illusion or hallucination. The report also mentions similar sightings in 1945. The detailed description, along with exact coordinates and time, adds credibility to the testimony. The official document, part of Project 10073, shows how UFO sightings were investigated with rigor at the time, though often concluding with conventional explanations.
