UFO Sighted in 1958 by a Ship in the Atlantic

Summary

In October 1958, the Norwegian ship *M/S Cometa* reported a luminous object traveling at high speed northward. The witness described it as the size of a full moon but with a much stronger light. At times, the object flared up briefly, possibly when passing through small clouds. When it disappeared behind a large cloud, the cloud itself flared. The report was sent to U.S. military authorities, though no direct contact was made with American officials. While a meteor was considered, the detailed account and unusual characteristics of the object sparked military interest.
