A white object with a black stripe seen in Pensacola

Summary

A witness in Pensacola, Florida, reported a mysterious object in the sky that appeared like a white ping-pong ball with a black stripe. The object suddenly appeared and remained visible for about 30 seconds. Despite its simple appearance, the observer noted that the edges were clearly defined and there was no movement or sound. The object disappeared suddenly behind some trees, leaving no trace. Its brightness was notable, comparable to a ping-pong ball in daylight, which generated some confusion about its nature.

The report includes a detailed description of the observation, although the observer could not determine the exact distance or speed of the object. The document, part of a U.S. Air Force form, asks for information about weather conditions, exact location, and any additional details. Although the report is brief, it highlights the unusual nature of the object and the need for more data for an accurate evaluation. The case is included in a broader database of unidentified sightings, which the Air Force used for research purposes.
