UFO sighted in Mauch Chunk in 1952

Summary

A witness in Mauch Chunk, Pennsylvania, reported a UFO in July 1952. The object was seen for several hours and described as a small yellow or red light. Although it didn't show much movement, it seemed to move in an elliptical orbit. Several witnesses, including family members and a friend, confirmed the sighting. The object did not emit sound and its color changed, causing confusion about its nature. A commercial flight and a military plane were in the area at the time, but the object was distinguishable from them. The observer, a 30-year-old man working in railroad training, used binoculars to observe the phenomenon. Although he initially thought it might be a weather balloon with a flare, he could not identify it with certainty.
