Unidentified flying object seen by military pilot in New Mexico

Summary

In January 1955, a B-25 flight instructor spotted an unidentified object for seven minutes. The pilot described a metallic disc-shaped object, about 120 to 130 feet in diameter, resembling two pie tins joined at their rims. The object moved parallel to the aircraft, showing both its edge and circular surface, before disappearing. The sighting was recorded but no further investigation was conducted.

The case was labeled as "unknown" and no additional actions were taken. Despite the pilot's detailed description, there were no images or further data to confirm the object's nature. Cases like this were common at the time, when aerial sightings were hard to evaluate without conclusive evidence.
