UFO spotted at 1500 mph over Alabama

Summary

In March 1954, a commercial airline pilot reported spotting two unidentified objects over the state of Alabama. The sighting occurred at 02:07 hours while the pilot was flying at 21,000 feet. According to the report, the objects were located 330 degrees from Charleston, 275 degrees from Brunswick (Georgia), 360 degrees from Myrtle Beach, and 255 degrees from Jacksonville. The pilot estimated their speed at an astonishing 1,500 miles per hour, a figure that far exceeds the speed of any known aircraft at the time. However, the report lacks additional details about the appearance or behavior of the objects, making any conclusive evaluation difficult.

The case was logged under Project 10573 and marked as "insufficient for evaluation" due to the lack of essential data. Despite this, the testimony of a professional pilot adds credibility to the report. The extremely high speed and precise location of the sighting raise questions about whether it could be an unknown phenomenon or a perceptual error. This document, though brief, reflects the confusion and mystery surrounding UFO sightings in the 1950s.
