Case description

A rooftop observer recalled a silent, unlit rectangular object moving across the sky after the fall of Baghdad. The form lists January 2003, while the narrative describes summer after the city fell. That chronology conflict is retained rather than assigning an unsupported corrected day. Source: National UFO Reporting Center, report 55549. This account is a report of claimed observations, not independent confirmation. Visual or radar observation without a narrative establishing beings, abduction, intentional contact, or physical effects. Map position: Approximate locality anchor from GeoNames; not an exact incident coordinate. Original location wording retained. Record notes: Source header and narrative conflict on event date; header retained as an index date only.
