The whole article:
“A number of residents in localities to the south of New Delhi claimed to have seen on Wednesday [possibly in August 1954] what they thought was a ‘flying saucer.’

The object, which was bigger than a star and looked like a disc was quite bright, the people said. It was noticed at 8-40 p.m. and moved irregularly from the Safdarjung airport towards the Jumna where it suddenly disappeared. The object was in the sky for about a minute.

Mr Rajeshwari Prasad, I.A.S., an officer in the Home Ministry, said he saw the object from his residence in Shan Nagar. ‘I thought it was an illusion. I called out my wife and daughter who confirmed what I saw,’ he said. The speed of the object, he said, approximated that of a Dakota.”
