UFO Sighted Over West Palm Beach in 1955

Summary

A witness in West Palm Beach, Florida, spotted a round, silver object on January 28, 1955. The object approached from the northeast, made an orbit, and then headed south. The observation lasted one hour, and no photos were taken. Initially, the observer thought it was birds, but quickly realized it was something different. The object shrank in size until it disappeared from view. Due to its appearance and flight pattern, investigators concluded it was likely a weather balloon. The weather conditions were clear with strong winds, supporting the hypothesis of a balloon affected by the wind.
