UFO seen in Oklahoma City in 1955

Summary

In November 1955, a witness in Oklahoma City observed an object resembling a saucer standing on edge, bright silver in color and surrounded by haze or smoke. The object made no sound and was observed for 20 minutes. Although no photos were taken, the possibility of a weather balloon was considered. The official assessment suggested it was likely a balloon, though the data was inconclusive. The object's description and behavior caused some confusion, as it did not act like an aircraft or an astronomical body.

The official investigation noted that the object could have been a weather balloon launched from Will Rogers Airport in Oklahoma City. However, radar data indicated the object was larger than typical balloons, raising some doubts. Despite this, the lack of sound and its silver appearance suggested a conventional explanation. The official report concluded there was not enough information to determine the object's nature with certainty, but it was more likely a weather balloon.
