Round UFO seen from a bus in Baltimore

Summary

A 14-year-old boy observed a round object with a silvery sheen while riding a bus in Baltimore on February 27, 1967. The object appeared suddenly to the right side of the vehicle, at about a 45-degree angle, and remained visible for 45 seconds. The witness, who had already read several UFO books, tried to rule out the possibility of it being a reflection from the sun or a scratch on the window, but nothing explained the phenomenon. The object hovered above a group of trees and did not move, adding an air of mystery to the sighting.

The Air Force concluded the object could have been an aircraft, though no data confirmed this. The official report lacks photos or physical evidence, and the witness did not mention the object disappearing. Despite the brief encounter, the detailed testimony and the boy's insistence on ruling out conventional explanations add intrigue to this case. The document includes simple sketches of the object and a formal request for additional information from authorities.
