Summary

A U.S. Air Force officer reported a UFO in Florida in 1953. The incident occurred on June 19, 1953, while the observer was in a small boat anchored near Marathon. The UFO appeared suddenly in the sky, with a bright semicircular shape in yellow with a greenish tint. The object moved quickly, flashing on and off in intervals, leading to the belief that it was trying to attract the observer's attention. The officer described the UFO as a large object with a triangular shape at the back, and it made no noise. The incident lasted approximately 13 seconds, during which the UFO made a series of unusual movements, including a 90-degree turn before disappearing behind a cloud.

The detailed report includes estimates of the UFO's size, direction, and altitude, as well as a description of the weather conditions and the observer's exact location. Despite the officer's inability to identify the object as an aircraft, a missile, or a natural phenomenon, the report concludes that no conventional explanation was found for the event.
