Round UFO sighted in Maine 1953

Summary

In January 1953, a witness in Oldtown, Maine, reported an unidentified flying object. The object appeared round, small, and was whirling at the top. It moved northeast, changing color between red, blue, and white. Occasionally, it moved erratically, without aircraft characteristics. The exact duration of the observation was not reported, but the object made a sound and was estimated to be around 100 feet high. Despite physical evidence being mentioned, the data is sparse.

The report lacks detailed background information. It was suggested the object could be a balloon, but no confirmation was given. The lack of precise data prevents a conclusive evaluation. The document was declassified after 12 years, following Department of Defense protocols.
