Below is one of 17 UFO sightings reported to us by Brian Reinhardt. If you would like
to read his other 16 sighting reports, they are posted throughout the history section by
year, or altogether
on one page. We felt this is important since part of the UFO puzzle is answering the
question: why certain people have so many sightings while others never see anything
peculiar in their entire lifetime?

1956 - This summer I became interested in listening to Short Wave Radio. I was out
in my back yard working on an Antenna. Because I was looking up I noticed a small circular
craft quickly approaching from the west; it flew almost directly overhead and disappeared
to the east. It appeared to be about the same size and colour as a dime would be, held at
arm's length. When I first saw it, it was approx. 45 degrees to the west of me. It took
approximately 10 seconds to pass out of sight, much faster than any aircraft which I've
ever seen. When it disappeared in the east it did not appear to follow the curvature of
the earth but just seemed to fly straight off into space. The weather was sunny and clear,
it made no sound and left no vapor trail, it appeared to be very high, possibly over
30,000 feet.
