UFO spotted near a B-52 in Virginia

Summary

A witness in Thaxton, Virginia, observed a strange object while tracking a B-52 in the sky. On January 14, 1965, the witness noticed a cigar-shaped object twice the size of the bomber flying at high speed toward the east. Although no photos or physical evidence were collected, the witness described an unusual appearance and an estimated speed of over 2,000 miles per hour. The official conclusion pointed to a conventional aircraft, but the testimony suggests a different perception, possibly influenced by perspective or atmospheric conditions. The report includes a later letter from the witness, mentioning a similar experience years earlier involving thistle seeds flying in the wind, which might explain the object's appearance.
