POLAND: UFO seen in Bialystok in 1959 [13/10/59]

Bialystok [woj.Podlaskie], October 13th 1959, 9 am. - 4 pm.

On October 13th 1959, an unusual sighting took place in Bialystok. An UFO craft was hovering motionlessly over the city between 9 am and 4 pm., changing its shape from a sphere to a doomed disc. The sighting was witnessed by thousands of people.Amongst the witnesses was a group of high-school students who missing lessons on that day went the "Ton" cinema in Bialystok.

When they were strolling and discussing the movie they had seen, one of them noticed that almost everyone was looking at the sky. Looking up the boys noticed a perfectly round object suspended over the roof of a house on the opposite side to the cinema [at an angle of 25 degrees]. It was as big as half of the full Moon and was shining intensely with silver glow. It was well visible since the sky was clear. After about 30 minutes of observation, they began continuing their way. After some time they came across an elder man observing the object with his binoculars. They asked for details of the UFO appearance but it wasn't possible to notice any. The object was hovering motionlessly and that amazed the observers since they didn't know any craft that would be able to remain motionless in the sky. Then, being at the local rail station, the students noticed the object again but its shape transformation was apparent. It wasn't round but ellipsoidal.

The third observation of the UFO took place during the witness' train trip. The object was suspended in the sky over the southern part of Bialystok and resembled a disc with a small dome on the top, emanating with the same intense glow. Moving away from Bialystok, boys lost the object from sight. The matter is very interesting since thousands of Bialystok inhabitants witnessed the sighting. It was also picked up by the local press [Gazeta Bialostocka, 14th and 17th X 1959 issues]. It put forth an explanation that it was one amongst Lunnik objects. Local astronomers stated that the object was simply the Venus.
