Cigar-shaped UFO seen in Florida 1957

Summary

A 1957 report describes the sighting of three cigar-shaped objects, about 2 feet long, with rounded ends and a silvery yellow color. They were seen flying in parallel from the southwest to the southeast, disappearing into haze and fog on the horizon. A civilian observer watched the event for 45 seconds. Although a meteor or sun reflection was considered, the unusual duration and lack of precise data led to the conclusion that there was insufficient information for a clear evaluation.

The report, under Project 10073, was sent to several air units and intelligence centers, but no further sightings or follow-up were recorded. The most plausible hypothesis was that it was a sun reflection on an aircraft formation at sunset, explaining the fuselage-like appearance without wings or tail. However, the nature of the event remains unresolved.
