1959 UFO Sighting in San Jose

Summary

In September 1959, a witness in San Jose, California, observed a formation of 10 to 15 dull silver wedge-shaped objects. They moved in a straight line from west to east at an estimated altitude of 30,000 to 60,000 feet. The sighting lasted between 10 and 15 seconds during the day. The official report classified the case as insufficient for evaluation, with no follow-up or additional witnesses. The detailed description and lack of conventional explanations add mystery to the event.

The official Project 10073 report found no clear explanation for the objects, ruling out balloons, aircraft, or astronomical phenomena. Although the sighting was recorded, no further investigations were conducted. The single testimony and precise description of the phenomenon, along with recorded weather conditions, did not provide enough data for a definitive conclusion. This case remains one of many in UFO history that remain unsolved.
