20-foot disc-shaped UFO seen in Winston Salem

Summary

In March 1968, an eighth-grade student in Winston Salem, North Carolina, reported seeing an unidentified flying object shaped like a disc. The object, approximately 20 feet in diameter, had no windows and emitted a glow that changed between red, white, and green. The report notes that the observer had seen the object multiple times over the past three months, suggesting a recurring presence. Although the report classifies the testimony as "unreliable," it includes specific details about the object's trajectory and behavior, including zigzags and altitude changes.

The official investigation included interviews with the student, other witnesses, and school staff. It was revealed that the topic of UFOs had generated significant interest in the classroom, with readings and discussions that sparked curiosity among students. Despite efforts to gather more information, no conclusive physical evidence was found. The case was considered in the context of standard UFO reporting protocols, leading to the creation of this official document.
