Cigar-shaped UFO sighted in Reseda

Summary

A 1957 report describes the observation of a cigar-shaped object seen in Reseda, California. The witness, a civilian, described it as a bright object with a flickering yellow core surrounded by an elliptical golden glow. The object remained stationary for about three to five minutes and then suddenly disappeared, like a light being turned off. Although the witness noted no other unusual activity or aircraft in the area, investigators concluded there was insufficient data to evaluate the case. Atmospheric conditions were considered as a possible explanation for the brightness, but the phenomenon remained unexplained.
