White UFO seen in Bremerton 1958

Summary

A round white object was spotted in Bremerton, Washington, on June 22, 1958. It measured between 6 and 8 inches in diameter and flew level from south to north. Two witnesses observed it for two minutes, but they did not provide elevation or azimuth data. Despite this, its direction of travel suggested a possible match with a commercial plane heading to Alaska.

The official conclusion leaned toward it being an aircraft, though other possibilities weren't ruled out. The report noted that the plane had a very bright white light, which could explain the object's appearance. Although there were no photos or radar data, the witnesses' account and the flight path were key to the evaluation.
