Republic Of Korea reported egg oval observation — October 1, 1959

It is not unusual for persons viewing the interior planets for the first time through an optical aid to be struck by the fact that it appears as a small moon, phases and all. Our every day experiences have left us with the impression that Venus is a life and originates its own light rather than reflecting sunlight the same as the moon. 3) SILVER 4) ONE 5) N/A 6) NO DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE STAFF MESSAGE DIVISION UNCLASSIFIED MESSAGE INCOMING AP IN : 21588 (21 OCT 59) PAGE TWO RJAPAB 1 (7) NO (8) NO (9) NONE B.

An observer reported a crescent-shaped silver object moving very slowly toward the west. The object moved westward at a rate of approximately 15 degrees an hour, a rate close to the rotational velocity of the earth and the apparent rotational velocity of the stars. Venus at the time occupied exactly the same position as the object, and went below the horizon shortly after the reported sighting [.] The image appears to contain a diagram with annotations describing the movement and position of celestial objects. The image appears to contain a document from Project Blue Book, an Air Force investigation of unidentified flying objects (UFOs).
