Incident: 190

On 11 October 1945 at approximately 1300 hours an unidentified object was observed by six military personnel of 86th Fighter Wing Neubiberg AF Base, Neubiberg, Germany. Object was estimated to be at 40,000 ft on a 50° heading from Neubiberg AF Base and was sighted continuously for 45 minutes, gradually becoming smaller and smaller - apparently rising but no change in compass direction was noted and it was apparently not influenced by the winds aloft. The visible circumference of the object appeared round but it could not be ascertained if it were disc-shaped or ballist-shaped. It was silver in color and very shiny in the rays of the sun. An AF-80 craft flying between the object and the observers on the ground appeared small in relation to the size of the object. The estimated altitude of the jet was 25,000 ft. Object was lost to view when a thin layer of clouds (estimated to be at about 20,000 ft) passed between the object and the ground observers.

High reliability is given the personnel sighting this object.
