Summary

In October 1957, an observer in Delaware spotted five circular objects with white light. They were arranged in a formation of three on top and two below, occupying the size of a coin held at arm's length. The object moved in a straight line for 2-3 seconds, without maneuvers. Although initially considered a meteor, the detailed description and unusual formation raised doubts. The official report classified it as possibly astronomical, but did not rule out the possibility of something unknown.

The report, prepared by an Air Force officer, includes precise data on location, time, and weather conditions. The observer, a crew member, clearly described what he saw. Despite the official evaluation, the report acknowledges there is no clear explanation for the phenomenon. This case is part of a series of UFO sightings that, although often attributed to natural phenomena, remain subjects of debate and study.
