UFO sighted by a B-47 in Alaska

Summary

A U.S. Air Force B-47 crew reported an unidentified object during a mission in Alaska in December 1954. The object, described as oval and with a glow that shifted from blinking red to steady white, was observed for 45 minutes. Initially thought to be a fighter jet, prolonged observation led officers to conclude it was likely a celestial body. The color transition and the object's behavior, along with the lack of aerodynamic features, supported this interpretation.

Although the report was classified and sent to various intelligence units, the final conclusion was that there was no evidence of an unknown craft. The report includes details on the location, time, and crew observations, noting that the object faded with the arrival of daylight. While the data is limited, the case reflects the Air Force's analysis methods during the golden age of UFO reports.
