Initial data

Initial information from sources or from an eyewitness

Incident date:

10.11.1860

Location:

Вашингтон, DC

United States

Witnesses watched as the object "the size of a balloon" moved with great speed in a South-westerly direction. Daylight was still strong and the lighting of the object distinct. He shone.

We heard, looking at the miracle that two similar objects have been here before. The one that we saw was moving to the southwest at an angle to the path of the tropical sun. He pretty quickly disappeared from sight.

Original news

Just about sunset several witnesses observed an object “the size of a balloon” moving with great rapidity in a south-westerly direction: “Notwithstanding the light of day was still strong and clear, the illumination of the object was brilliant and distinct (…) We heard, while gazing at this wonder, that two similar ones had passed previously. The one we saw, after moving south-westerly, at an angle with the path of the sun, took a course directly west, and straight from us; fading gradually and very rapidly until lost from sight.
