UFO sighted in Jackson Mississippi in 1956

Summary

In July 1956, a 21-year-old civilian in Jackson, Mississippi, reported seeing two objects in the sky. He described them as round and teardrop-shaped, the size of a silver dollar, with a blue-white front and a reddish flame-like tail. The objects moved silently in a straight line, one following the other, for just one second. This brief duration made any definitive evaluation difficult. Although balloon and aircraft explanations were considered, there was insufficient data to confirm any. The report classifies the event as a bolide, a bright meteor that disintegrates in the atmosphere. However, the short and visual nature of the sighting left many questions unanswered.
