UFO seen as aircraft in Maine

Summary

A silver object resembling an aircraft was spotted over Presque Isle, Maine, on October 8, 1957. A housewife witness described it as having wings and flying in a straight line at an altitude between 45 and 60 degrees above the horizon. The sighting lasted 2 to 3 minutes, with no photos taken, but the object was clearly not round or balloon-like.

The report concluded it was "probably an aircraft," though other explanations were not ruled out. Two aircraft were operating in the area, which could explain the sighting. Weather conditions were clear with scattered clouds and moderate winds. Despite the evaluation, the detailed description and the witness's emphasis on the presence of wings make this case intriguing.
