UFO in Winston Salem 1957

Summary

In November 1957, a witness in Winston Salem, North Carolina, observed a white disc-shaped object the size of a silver dollar. The object had rounded ends and was very bright. The sighting lasted about four minutes, and the witness saw it heading northwest before disappearing into a cloud bank. Although balloon or astronomical explanations were considered, investigators concluded it was likely an aircraft. The report notes that many planes were flying in the area at that time, supporting this conclusion.

The report, part of Project 10073, includes weather data and an assessment from local air traffic control. Despite the clear description, no photos or radar records were taken. The testimony was filed with the label "probably aircraft," but the physical description doesn't match conventional models of the time. The case remains intriguing due to its brevity and clarity, though it doesn't offer new clues about UFO sightings.
