Soccer Ball-Shaped UFO Seen Over Trenton

Summary

A white, football-shaped object the size of a pea was sighted over Trenton, New Jersey, on the night of November 21, 1958. The witness, a civilian who claimed to have studied astronomy, saw it directly overhead moving slowly southward, away from New York. The object left no trail, made no sound, and vanished suddenly after a couple of minutes. Although an aircraft was initially considered, the report concluded there were no clear indications of a conventional object. The detailed description from the observer, combined with the lack of conventional features, adds an air of mystery to this case.
