UFO sightings in Belarus 1955

Summary

In November 1955, a niece of a contact in Belarus described flying objects that kept the population tense. These "flying saucers" were said to reach astonishing speeds of 12,000 km/h, generating significant scientific interest. The account came through a personal letter, adding a human touch to official reports.

The document includes a sketch showing the formation and suspected paths of the objects. Though not officially evaluated, the testimony is notable as the first to mention such phenomena. Informal accounts like this are valuable for understanding how UFOs were perceived by civilians during the Cold War.
