Summary

In September 1952, a witness in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, reported an oval-shaped object emitting bright light. The observer, a 33-year-old man, insisted it was neither a balloon nor a meteor, as the object maintained a constant trajectory and did not fall. He observed the phenomenon for seven minutes, describing it as moving like a descending plane but with unusual speed and brightness. Although other witnesses confirmed the sighting, the object could not be identified. The official report deemed the data insufficient for a conclusive evaluation.

The object was seen from the ground without the aid of instruments, described as having a greenish-white color and an elliptical shape. The witness, an insurance adjuster, denied it was an astronomical phenomenon or an optical illusion. Despite investigations, the case remains unsolved, adding another mystery to the extensive list of sightings from that era.
