Summary

Prepared and disseminated by the Central Intelligence Agency, this two-page information report covers a sighting of unconventional aircraft in the USSR, acquired in the Azerbaijan SSR with a date of information of 4 October 1955. The source is described as a 41-year-old US national, vice president of publicity and advertising for a large US corporation with a political science background and no technical training or experience in aviation, visiting the USSR as a tourist at the invitation of a senior Soviet official. Traveling by train from Baku to Tiflis, he and his companions observed what a fellow passenger first called a flying saucer from the train window two hours and forty minutes out of Baku. The report is marked unevaluated information.
