CIA-UAP-006, Sighting Of Unconventional Aircraft

Short overview

This November 1955 CIA Information Report presents a U.S. national’s eyewitness account of an unconventional aircraft near Baku. The witness described a triangular object with three lights launching from an airfield at a steep angle. The passage also notes that the source had no technical training or aviation experience.

Why this is interesting

• The file describes a specific observation near a Soviet airfield.
• The passage includes details on shape, lights, launch motion, and a searchlight, but remains a witness account.
• The report separates observation from interpretation; the source compared the procedure to a missile ejection.
• The OCR/direct text contains errors, but the core description is understandable.
