UFO seen over Jersey Shore in 1955

Summary

A round, bright object was observed in Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania, in April 1955. A witness described it as white, solid, and sharply outlined, which remained stationary for one minute before slowly ascending. The sighting lasted about four minutes and no photos were taken. After a thorough investigation, it was concluded that the object was a Piper Cub, a small civilian aircraft. Weather data and interviews with witnesses confirmed there were no abnormal conditions or other reported flights in the area. Although the pilot claimed his navigation lights were working, it was mentioned that one had intermittent issues, which could explain the mysterious appearance of the object to observers.
