UFO sighted in London in 1955

Summary

An observer in London, England, reported an unusual object in August 1955. It was described as a steady, bright white light moving in a straight path without sound or tail. The witness, a U.S. military personnel, noted the object was brighter than a star and observed it for 3 to 5 minutes. Although an aircraft was considered, the lack of noise raised doubts. The report lacked precise data and the observer could not determine the direction of the object, complicating the evaluation.

The official file did not reach a clear conclusion, dismissing possibilities like balloons, aircraft, or astronomical phenomena. It highlighted that the observer had no astronomy knowledge and could not accurately locate the object's origin. Despite this, the testimony was recorded as part of Project 10073, which collected unexplained sightings. The case remains unresolved, adding to the long list of mysterious UFO incidents without explanation.
