Summary

An object was sighted in Weldon Springs, Missouri, in 1959, for 20 minutes. It was described as a spinning disc with glowing windows, emitting vapor with a sulfur-like smell. Three witnesses, including a relative picking up medicine, observed the phenomenon without being able to identify it as a balloon, aircraft, or astronomical event. The object vanished in seconds, leaving a vapor trail. Despite the detailed description, authorities concluded there was not enough information to evaluate the case.

The report was classified as "insufficient data," and no response was received to the request for more information. The testimony, written years later, reflects the witnesses' confusion and fear, who did not report the incident publicly. The official Air Force document requests further details, but the case remains unresolved.
