Pink disc-shaped UFO near Moscow

Summary

A 1953 report describes a pink, disc-shaped object observed for nearly seven hours near Moscow, Idaho. The witness described it as about 200 feet in size and silent. Two aircraft were scrambled to intercept it, but no results were achieved. Pilots concluded it might have been a light reflection on clouds.

The object appeared and disappeared, leaving a trail, and would stop suddenly. Despite the long observation, there was no physical evidence or photographs. The report mentions clear weather with a haze layer at 5,000 feet. The most likely explanation, according to investigators, is a meteorological phenomenon.
