UFO sighted by B-47 crew in 1958

Summary

In January 1958, a B-47E bomber crew reported an unidentified flying object while flying over the Pacific. Two observers gave different accounts: one described a round object with a reddish-white flame, while the other saw a yellowish light the size of a pea with a tail. The object disappeared into the atmosphere after 29-30 seconds. Possible explanations such as balloons, aircraft, or astronomical phenomena were considered, but no definitive conclusion was reached. The report, under Project 10073, reflects the typical uncertainty of UFO cases from that era.
