UFO sighted in Killeen, Texas in 1954

Summary

In October 1954, military personnel in Killeen, Texas repeatedly observed an oval-shaped object with a silver glow near the horizon. The phenomenon lasted fifteen seconds and showed no sound or trail. Despite multiple sightings, no photos or physical evidence were recorded. Investigators concluded it was an astronomical refraction of stars or planets. The repetition and direction coinciding with the ecliptic supported this explanation. The case was carefully evaluated, but nothing anomalous was found.
