On or during April 1960, at or near 5Mi EOf Ocoll, Tennessee, United States, the source reports the following sequence: CONCLUSIONS: It is highly probable that the witnesses observed the vapor trail of a high flying object. This object was oval or elongated in shape, and its trail was observed to an altitude beyond the cloud turrets. It was observed that it was traveling diagonally, slow, which would be the impression at the height it must have been traveling. I stopped the car on the pavement to watch the show for a minute or so. It had just disappeared. But also remembered that this was to have been a highly sophisticated and the first maneuver we saw this one as it showed 7:10 P.M. I got a good look at it through the pavement with cars and trucks passing by it. the other direction I pulled off the Roadside and watched out the window where I had a fine view of it for about 10 minutes, but then it suddenly disappeared behind a black cloud and disappeared behind it. remember the long way and its speed, rapid acceleration and deceleration made for some strange and unexpected behavior as the objet to the time it disappeared over the horizon. As we turned into the parking area, we saw the object re-appear and then change shape somewhat and disappeared out low on the horizon. It was blinking a dark red instead of the almost white color it had when I first observed it. We watched it together for several minutes before the object, getting smaller and redder as it moved away toward the eastern horizon. I told him that whatever it was, it had moved so fast and so silently that it surely had not been an aircraft. Moved slowly in diagonal (?) ascent for several minutes, then disappeared into cloud.
