Egg-shaped UFO sighted by Coast Guard

Summary

In January 1955, a Coast Guard observer on Sullivan Island, South Carolina, reported seeing an egg-shaped object with three small lights in formation. The sighting lasted 10 minutes, and the object was moving northeast. Although balloon and aircraft explanations were considered, the data was insufficient for a conclusive evaluation. Visibility was clear, and wind conditions at various altitudes were recorded, but they did not help identify the object. This case is part of Project 10073 files, where many reports end without a definitive resolution.
