UFO seen in Eastbourne in 1959

Summary

A civilian observer in Eastbourne, England, reported an unidentified object on October 11, 1959. The object appeared round at first but changed to a kite-like shape as it moved westward. It was estimated to be the size of a dime, with a silvery color and a speed between 2000 and 5000 mph. The report concluded that there was insufficient information for a valid evaluation, due to a lack of data and the delayed report. Weather conditions were clear with a slight breeze and dry weather. Although the witness claimed others saw it too, no additional testimonies supported the observation.
