Black UFO seen over Seattle in 1955

Summary

A witness in Seattle, Washington, reported on July 21, 1955, the presence of a round, black object the size of a quarter held at arm's length. The object appeared overhead and ascended straight into the sky before disappearing. The sighting lasted approximately two minutes. Although the witness and a neighbor confirmed the visual observation, there were no photographs or additional data to allow a conclusive evaluation. The lack of detailed information made it difficult to classify the phenomenon definitively.

The 635 ACW base at McChord AFB submitted the report following established protocols, but no clear explanation was reached. Possible causes such as balloons, aircraft, or astronomical phenomena were dismissed due to insufficient data. The case remains open, like many from that era, without an official resolution.
