UFO in Moundsville, West Virginia

Summary

In 1954, a 16-year-old in Moundsville, West Virginia, reported a unidentified flying object with a disc shape and bright lights. The testimony, collected by the U.S. Air Force, describes an object twice the size of the moon moving horizontally at a 40-degree elevation. The report concluded the sighting was unreliable, possibly due to second-hand observation and lack of precise data. Despite this, the witness and companions were impressed by the object's size and brightness, which disappeared behind a hill.

The testimony includes details like the metallic color of the object and the fact that it made no sound. The young witness drew the object, showing a disc with a dome on top. Although the official report deemed it unreliable, the testimony reflects the confusion and awe of the witnesses toward a phenomenon they couldn't explain with conventional knowledge.
