SIGHTINGS OF UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS, 19 JANUARY-15 MAY 1954
A CIA foreign-document report, distributed 30 July 1954, compiling newspaper accounts of unidentified flying objects from 19 January to 15 May 1954. One item, from Paris's Le Figaro of 18 April 1954, says that on 15 April 1954 two residents of Saint-Mexant, in the Corrèze department, observed an elongated, cone-shaped object with two red and green lights at the base, flying at a high altitude. The report marks the information as unevaluated.
