A flying disc was observed.

One white ball, about 80 feet across, was observed in partly cloudy weather by one male 27-year-old witness at an airport for 45 minutes. No sound was heard.

Ruppelt's account:

In Uvalde, Texas, a UFO described as "a large, round, silver object that spun on its vertical axis" was seen to cross 100 degrees of afternoon sky in forty-eight seconds. During part of its flight it passed between two towering cumulus clouds.
