A bright sighting in West Virginia

Summary

In March 1955, a witness in West Virginia reported seeing a round object brighter than the sun, which appeared to have a flat side. The object had no distinct edges and made no sound. Although the report suggests it could have been a balloon, no further investigation was conducted due to the short duration of the sighting and lack of conclusive data. The official report indicates the object might have been a balloon released in the area shortly before the sighting, though this was not confirmed.
