UFO seen as a basketball in Iowa

Summary

In November 1955, a group of civilians in Council Bluffs, Iowa, observed a flat, round object the size of a basketball. The object attracted attention due to its jet-like sound and moved at an extremely high speed. The sighting lasted about 30 seconds and no photos were taken. Although a low-flying jet was considered, it could not be confirmed.

The official report classified it as "possibly an aircraft," but other explanations were not ruled out. The object moved from northwest to east, and the witnesses were 15 years old. Despite a clear description, there were no additional data such as radar or flight reports. This case remains one of the many unresolved UFO incidents in history.
