1956 UFO Sighting in Vandalia Ohio

Summary

In September 1956, a witness in Vandalia, Ohio, observed an aerial object that appeared to hover motionless in the sky. The object was round, the size of a pea, and had a reddish color. The observation lasted about 20 minutes, and the witness described it as possibly a balloon.
