Rectangular UFO Sighted in Guam in 1955

Summary

In January 1955, two observers in Guam reported a strange unidentified flying object that appeared to change shape depending on the viewing angle. From the side, it looked rectangular, while from behind it resembled a cylinder. It measured between 12 and 15 feet in length and 5 feet in width. The front emitted a bright light that turned orange toward the rear. No sound was heard, no maneuvers were observed, and the object followed a straight path. The witnesses, with military and aerial observation experience, could not identify it as a balloon, aircraft, or astronomical phenomenon.

The description was recorded in a U.S. Air Force intelligence report, highlighting the inability to determine its nature. Although a meteor was considered, it was not confirmed. The observers agreed that the object was not common and its appearance and behavior did not match known objects. The report concluded with an open assessment, noting the object was "possibly astronomical," but no definitive conclusion was reached.
