UFO seen over Woburn in 1956

Summary

In August 1956, a witness in Woburn, Massachusetts, observed a yellow, disc-shaped object for 90 minutes. The object remained relatively stationary in the sky and was seen both with the naked eye and binoculars, making smooth left-right and up-down movements. Although several explanations were considered, such as balloons or aircraft, investigators concluded it might have been a star reflected during a thermal inversion. The object's description and movements supported this theory, though the possibility of an unidentified phenomenon could not be ruled out.
