UFO, Two historical sightings in 1958

Summary

This declassified document records two UFO sightings that occurred in 1958, one off the west coast of Africa and the other in West Virginia, USA. In both cases, witnesses described unusual objects emitting flames, smoke, and performing erratic movements, raising doubts about their conventional nature. Although neither case allowed for a definitive identification, the testimonies were detailed and consistent, adding credibility to the accounts. In the African case, the official report concluded that the available information was insufficient for an accurate assessment, while in the American case, a journalist decided to publish the testimony considering it genuine. Both cases reflect the uncertainty and mystery surrounding UFO sightings in the mid-20th century.
