Mysterious Sphere Over the Pacific

Summary

In January 1955, over the Pacific, a pilot observed a soundless, globular, white-red object flying level with his aircraft for three minutes. Although no photos were taken, the report suggests it was likely a KC-97 aircraft flying in the opposite direction. ATIC concurs with this assessment, though other possibilities are not ruled out. The report lacks further details, but the airborne testimony is key to understanding the nature of the phenomenon.
