Rectangular UFO seen in Germany in 1955

Summary

In September 1955, a witness in Wegenstetter, Germany, observed a rectangular object moving across the sky at high speed. The object had lights along its side, was four times as long as it was wide, and moved 45 degrees in just 4 seconds. Although initially considered a possible meteor, the detailed description suggests something more unusual. The witness, along with other residents, saw the bright object moving from north to south, silently and with a metallic appearance. The report includes precise observations, such as its color, shape, and an estimated speed of 150 km/s, making it difficult to classify as a conventional phenomenon.

The report, though brief, contains precise details and a curious mention of a space congress discussing solar-powered rockets. This adds a touch of science fiction to a testimony that, while not conclusive, remains interesting to researchers of unexplained aerial phenomena. Despite the short observation time, the account includes details like the absence of sound, solar illumination, and the impossibility of identifying the object as a balloon or aircraft.
