UFO 1954, Bright Meteor with Multicolor Trail

Summary

A civilian observer in Nebraska-Missouri reported a bright object with a green and multicolor trail. It was classified as an astronomical meteor. Witnesses saw a luminous ball that faded when the spotlight was turned off. Despite multiple testimonies, radars recorded nothing. In France, various reports described UFOs shaped like cigars, flying saucers, and spheres, some with tiny beings. An engineer in New York described a disc-shaped object performing impossible maneuvers. While some cases were attributed to meteors, the non-metallic nature of some phenomena remains a mystery.
