Round UFO seen in Nevada in 1957

Summary

In September 1957, a civilian in Nevada reported a round object approximately 18 inches in diameter, with a vivid orange and red color. The object appeared silently and remained stationary in the sky, showing no signs of movement. The witness observed it for about one and a half to two minutes and noted an orange jet flame along the edge of the object. The sighting occurred in a remote area, five miles south of the Lincoln County line in Nevada. The report was deemed inconsistent due to discrepancies in the data provided, leading to its classification as a closed case without further investigation.

The report was reviewed by several local authorities, who confirmed the witness was a reliable person. However, due to inconsistencies in the coordinates and object description, no clear conclusion was reached. The official document classifies the case as unidentified, with no evidence of conventional aerial activity or natural phenomena explaining the sighting. Despite the lack of concrete answers, the case was archived without ruling out the possibility that the object was of unknown origin.
