1956 stationary UFO in Dallas

Summary

In September 1956, an observer in Dallas, Texas, spotted a star-shaped object that remained stationary at 20,000 feet for 20 minutes. The object changed color from white to red and then moved west at about 200 knots. It was seen in both Grand Prairie and Dallas, with the observation lasting 23 minutes. Witnesses included both civilians and military personnel, adding credibility to the report.

The official report classified it as "unknown," as it didn't fit typical categories like balloons, aircraft, or astronomical bodies. The object's stability over such a long time ruled out a balloon, and its sudden lateral movement raised questions. Despite evaluation efforts, the case remains unsolved, adding another mystery to the history of UFOs in the United States.
