UFO without wings seen in Montana 1957

Summary

In July 1957, a witness in Hamilton, Montana, observed a long, silver UFO-like object without wings. The object maintained a straight flight path for two to four minutes, which was unusual in duration and trajectory. Despite the detailed description, no photos were taken and the official report concluded it could have been an aircraft, though without definitive confirmation.

The official Project 10073 report did not rule out other possibilities, but noted that the description, duration, and flight path pointed toward a conventional explanation. However, the absence of wings and the shiny appearance generated some uncertainty. The case was filed as "insufficient data for evaluation," leaving open the possibility that the object was not a conventional aircraft.
