The CIA has released a declassified report that sheds light on alleged unidentified flying object (UFO) sightings that reportedly occurred between Budapest and Moscow in 1955. This document is part of a larger release of 72 files by the Pentagon concerning evidence of UFOs. The specific report details an account from a U.S. citizen of Hungarian descent who received a letter from his niece in Budapest in November 1955.

According to the letter, "flying saucers" had kept local residents on edge for several weeks. The report estimates the speed of these mysterious objects at an astonishing 12,000 kilometers per hour. Accompanying the document is a drawing that purports to show the flight path of these objects between the two European capitals. This historical account adds another layer to the ongoing public and governmental interest in unexplained aerial phenomena.

Beyond the 1955 sighting, the declassified materials include other intriguing accounts. One document describes a "flying potato" observed over the mountains of Colorado in 2022, complete with an artistic interpretation of the incident. Another file contains a video from a resident of the northeastern United States who reported seeing two red spheres in the sky in July 2025, describing the spheres as containing a "white plasma sun."

Furthermore, a previously classified expert commission report from 1991 suggests that scientists interviewed by the CIA recommended either concealing or refuting reports of UFOs. The rationale behind this recommendation was to maintain public calm and prevent widespread alarm. This revelation raises questions about the historical handling of UFO information by intelligence agencies.
