Budapest Family Letter, Formation Flight Toward Moscow

CIA-UAP-018, Report of Unusual Flying Object Sightings and Attendant Scientific Activity

CIA-UAP-018 is a 1955 CIA information report forwarding a Budapest family letter that described weeks of so-called saucer sightings over Hungary and claimed the objects moved at 12,000 kilometers per hour.

Brief

The CIA report records an unevaluated account from a naturalized U.S. citizen of Hungarian extraction who corresponded with relatives in Budapest. The source said a November 1955 letter from a niece included a translated passage about so-called saucers that had kept people nervous and scientists busy for weeks. The attachment also included a sketch indicating a formation and suspected course from Budapest toward Moscow, but the provided extract does not include technical measurements beyond the reported speed claim.
