UFO sighted in Maine in 1955

Summary

In July 1955, an unidentified object was observed for twenty minutes in Maine, near Charleston and Greenville. Witnesses, both civilian and military, described a round and flat object with blinking lights on top. Although it had no wings or tail, it was compared to a four-engine aircraft. Its silver and pink color made it stand out in the near-dark sky. The description and air traffic in the area led investigators to consider it a probable aircraft sighting.

The official report did not include photographs but detailed the object's movement direction and estimated speed. Despite the lack of visual confirmation, air traffic data and the object's description supported the hypothesis that it was an aircraft. The case was classified as likely aircraft, but the unusual nature of the observation makes it an intriguing entry in UFO history.
