White UFO seen by two flights in 1954

Summary

In September 1954, a white object was observed near Winslow, Arizona, for about 30 seconds. A Western Airlines pilot described it as emitting a lot of light from its rear. The object was moving east at around 20,000 feet and disappeared in that direction. A North American Airlines flight also reported the same object, though from a slightly different location. Despite two independent sightings, authorities concluded there was insufficient data to evaluate the phenomenon. The report mentions the object appeared to be separated from its main body by hundreds of feet, creating confusion about its nature. No photos or physical evidence were available, and the visual description was the only clue. Although details like color, trajectory, and light were recorded, the case remains unresolved. This type of report, common at the time, still puzzles many researchers.
