Circular UFO sighted in San Fernando in 1956

Summary

A witness in San Fernando, California, reported in February 1956 a circular object the size of a pinhead at arm's length. The object was described as yellowish white, similar to a light bulb. It was moving northeast at a speed of 500 knots, between 3,000 and 5,000 feet altitude. The sighting lasted about 10 seconds and was recorded as a probable aircraft observation. The report does not include photos, but it does include details such as local time, direction, and the object's appearance.

The report, part of Project 10073, was classified as a probable aircraft, ruling out other possibilities like balloons or astronomical phenomena. Although it was noted that the information was insufficient for a full analysis, the testimony of a single witness and the detailed description of the object's movement and appearance make this an interesting case within the UFO files of that era.
