and SUwDSTAD on 9 July 1249, all bouse numbers = Jilmont Court, Beltinore,
2, .aryland, and these individuals stated, concerning unidentifiavle
aerial objects observed 29 June 1549, in substance as follows:

ATRIOS: - stated thet she end her husband observed appro-
mately SQ dark objects in the southeast section of 5altimore, and travel-
ing north at a speed far in excess of that made by tirds. The objects

were observe< for about twenty seconds, arc shen ‘roula disappear Cor a
ccuple of minutes and reappear traveling in the opposite direction. The
objects were dark in color ard flew in no set Cormatis:. She hau the ou-
jects pointed out to her by the group collectec around ° nagggg@iiii.. The

objects were seen from approxinately 1830 to 20C0 hours.

RET RICERPSCMNS - advised that he cbhserved approximately twenty |
ying objects about 1915 hours and that these odjects aroeared over
southeast Baltimore and maneuvered over in a northeasterly direction. ir.
eG described the actions of the objects as grouping in a mass in fligat
* and forming into a winglike formation on the turns. «=P advised
that the objects seemed to appear for 20-secon. intervals at one minute
pericds. The shape of the objects sonewhat rese-:bled airplanes and were
last seen just before darkness. jiaster -iWRgMMRee?, son of above
informant, advised that he saw a nwiber of black objects traveling ata
speed much faster "than airplanes ever went" from about 190° hours until
dusk. |

,
Wwisced that at approximately 1800 hours they nad seen ob-

jects,which they described as "wedge shaped", flying from the southeast

to the northeast sections of Baltimore at a very high rats of speed, al-
most as though they were being pulled through the air. The objects were
described as being smaller than planes, end were said to have disappeared
upon the appearance of other planes in the area. The objects were thougit
to be black in color, but due to the rapid rate of speed at which they
were traveling none of the above-mentioned individuals could make an ac=
curate. statement as to the description of the objects. she number of ob-
jects was thought to be about twenty, and the time of disappearance was : |

estimated at about 2000 hours.

edts circling southeast and northeast of Baltimore about
duske iLrse pdvised that she did not know whether the objects were
birds or not, but described them as being about the size of playes and

not see to have any effcot en the actions cfr Subject objects.

Lab ated that at approximately 1900 hours shk-
had wetoneda the black objects in the southeastern sky through Cicld
glasses, and that they appeared to be too high to be birds, and that the
objects appeared to swoop and turn at a very hich rate cf speed. She
stated that the objects did not aprear to maintain any set formation, but
that they did progress more in a northernly direction, disappearir, into
the northeastern sky just before dark.

ae a ys SSRIS that her husband called her from the porch
of her hone at approximately 1845 hours and pointed out to her sore chjects
in the sky which he had been observing. She and her husband anc a group cf

neighbors observed these objects until dark. Urge descrirtion of
the objects tallied completely with that of her husberd.

a TT Nae stated that she obscrved ovjects in the sky

Por about two hours, between 1830 and 2030, ?‘rsgqgMMWMBsaid her eyeciczht
was not good, and the objects sppeared to be thick strings, appearing and
disappearing below a layer of strato-cumulus clouds.

fing. sor voc the objects from 1830 to 2080 hours, end
irst thouzht them to be birds. Closer observation made her realize that

birds did not travel at the terrific ratec of speed at which these objects
appearec to be goiny. The objects continued to dart in and out of the
clouds.

Lit» - brother of Lirqggm@—fMso7 the same objects as
his sister. i. further stated that the next day, while on duty

on the third floor of the Accident Ward, John Hopkins Hospital, he over-
heard a conversation between three wumlkmown doctors concervins objects they
had observec in the sky the siternoon before.  galtmeam 03 that the
objects darted in and out of the clouds much too fast for birds, and that
it could not have been tight flashes on the bottom of the clouds since he
saw a definite solid object.

AGENT'S NOTE: Due to this contest, Baltimore is overpopulated with "sk,
watchers".

20. & 14 July 1949, the records of Headquarters and Headquarters
Squadron, 1909th AACS, Andrews Air Force Base, were consulted by srecial
Agent MURRAY H. ChHASIN. These records indicated that l¢

mvyepeeeess; wes on duty as GCA Control Officer, between tle
hours of 1700 and 2400 on 29 June 1949. gio: interviewed and
stated that there were no unusual occurrences or receptions on the GCA

radar screen between 1900 and 2200 hours on 29 duns 1949.

Qn 15 July 1949, Special Agent JOM! R. GOOLSBY interviewed Captain
T. Ae GIANTATSIS, Officer-in-Charge, National LEV Racar Station, Gravelly
Point, Alexandria, Virginia, who stated,in substance,that the operations
at the National Airport revealed that on 29 June 1949 a C-47 aircraft, No.
NG=5970, had requested a position from the radar station and that the
station had remained in contact with the airplane for approxinatel, “orty
minutes. The logs made no mention of having picked uo any unidentifiable
aircraft or objects, and operators who were questioned stated thet they
did not recognize any forms or unusual objects in their radar scope. Captain
GIANTASIS explained that the radar scope might reveal metallic objects which
would reflect in the scope. However, unless the pilot specifically re-
quested from the station operator some information relating to the uniden-
tifiable objects, they would appear to the operator to be other aircraft
in the area. Captain GIANTASIS stated that the principal characteristics
of the unidentifiable objects wore of such a nature as to preclude any
"PIPS" on the radar screen. lLUowever, he stated that he would like to
point out the fact that, even if the operator did not report any such in-
cident, this fact did not necessarily preclude the possibility of such ob-
jects being in the area at the time indicated. Station IEW tracked the
above-mentioned C-47 for about forty minutes. Copy of the log indicated
that the aircraft was flying at an altitude of 2,000 ft.; radar control
was assumed at 195¢-E on Channel 9; and radar screens were 5 X 5.

his spare time in the aiternoon and early evening Sitting on his front
| porch observiny aircraft rlying in the area. ‘r. also stated that,
as a commercial art student, re spends a great deal of tine studing
cloud formations for color and shadow effect. It was curing cne of these
periods of sky study that SUicdECT noted lo to 20 unidentifiable serial
objects flying near the a Cloud. Concerning this specific inci-
dent on 29 June 1949, lir. stated in substance as follows:
—~ “on 29 June 1949, I returned from Commercial Art School
about 1530 and after bathing, takinz a short nap and oating
‘ dinner, I moved to my custowary position on the front porch
| of my ebode at 924 iilmont Court, Baltimore 2, iaryland, snd
began my usuel study of cloud formation. At approximately
1830 hours, local daylight time, I observed a monoplane
(civilian-type light plane) flying east at an altitude of
approximately 2,000 ft. On closer ovservation of this plane,
I noticed what appeared to be a cylindrical object atiacned
\ beneath the plane in the normal position of a belly tank on
\ a fighter airplane. Several minutes later I observeu tarve
(3) flights of three (3) each aircraft flying from the gen-
/ eral direction of the airport toward a cloud, into which tae
39 it civilian-type monoplane had disappeared. This cloud was a
g strato-cumulus type formation and appeared to be several city
blocks in size. At the time of this observation, I presumed
the nine, (3) airplanes to be Maryland National Guard planes,
since they resembled F-47s as flown by the Guard in this
area. Upon nearing the cloud, the formation of nine planes
veered sharply in course and flew away into the clouds. [
did not again see the civilian-type monoplane. While my
eyes were still focused on the spot where the civilian-type
monoplane had disappeared, I suddenly noticed somthing

eircling the cloud at a terrific rate of speed. Tiese ob-
Sects would appear fcr about two-secoud intervals and via
disappear froa sise* for 4 period of ore te tro seevuids.

uy attentior becanm riveted co this spot in cane sity anc I
observed tine action uf these objects for tic next ovo Lours,
or until approximate Garknesse After observing these ole
jects tor a rerioa of avccut Pil'tecn tluutes, during waich
time I wus able to ascertain that there were approxinately

15 to 20 "V-shaped cbjects flying (or moving) in circular
formation in cond out of the cloud, i sumaoned mr wife frou
inside the house and pointed cut the objects to her. se

was eble to see exactly the sane thing that I had been ‘rite
nessing. -/ithin a few minutes almost all of the persons
living in wWilmont Court had gathered around my front door
step, and we spent the next two hours observing and discuse-
ing what we were witnessing. After observing the objects for
approximately thirty minutes, 1 resnlizeu tnat i wes observing
something of a phenomena and telephoned the Saltinore "llews
Post" and requested that they send a reporter out to witness
the flight of the unidentified objects. The "News rost" was
rather skeptical avcut the whole thing, and iafcrued me that
they would call the airport and see if there were anythin, to
it. ‘ihen i made the call to the "News Fost" I nad not con-
sidered ths 325.00 reward normally offered by this newspaprr
for the scoop of a news story, and this fact was not brought
to my attention until souctime later by one of the neignbors.
Fifteen or twenty minutes later, I called the newspaper back,
and asked them what they had found out. The individual ir-
formed’ me that he had called the tover at the Baltimore Luni-
cipal Airport and they reported n> ectivity at that point.
The reporter stated tha* he might drop by wilmont Court, but he
never came out. i had a pair of field glasses, but was wmable
to bring the objects into focus dve to the rapicity of their
motions. All the neighbors in the crowd watching the ol jects
were able to see them, anu to the best of my Imowledge all of
these persons agreed that it could not possibly be a flight
of birds, a conventional type of airplane or airplanes, or
any of the various advertising schemes employed in the Balti-
more area. The best description that I can give of the ob-
jects is that they resembled a boomerang which had been pulled
out. Actually, they were an open angular, with the vertex
angle approximately 70°; the legs of the angle had some thick-

ness, but there was no evidence of engines, fuselage, cannopies,

landing gear or other conventional aircraft construction.

Upon first observing the objects, they were circulating at a
rapid rate of speed around the cloud. Within a few minutes,
the tactics of the formation was changed, and a darting motion
in and out of the cloud appeared. The objects first appeared

at a bearing of about 135° from the north, and at a dis-
tance that I would estimete as six (6) miles, which I
believe would put then over the Say, Leyond the airport.
This position was later confirmec by the traffic pattern
of severel Commercirl airliners landin, at the airport.
The objects were in plain view to me at the sane tine I
was observins tne conmercial-*ype airliners, and it was
quite evicent that the objects were bevcnd the sirport
traffic pattern, but in the exact direction of tne airport.
The objects moved from southeast to vorthzest Baltimore,
, and finally disappeared at e bearing of approximately 95°.
| The altituce of initial observation was approximately 20°
froa the horizon. However, on two occasions the unidenti-
fiable serial objects flew in the direction of my vantage
point end reachece a height of about 50°. on these occa=
sions i vas able to observe tre objects more slosel; and
coulé moré plainly confirm my initial description of the
objects. The objects were black in color, with a duli sheen
| that showed no sun reflecticn. I was extremely impressed by
| the high degree of maneuverability and the terrific rate of
| speec at which tne objects appeared to be traveling. The ob-
| jects seemed to possess the atility to reverse their course
180° instantaneously, as they would bo flying in one direct-
ion, disappear for one to two seconds, and reappear fliring on
a course 180° opposite from the initial course. The objects
seemed to prefer in amaround the small puffy clouds just ve-
low the strato-cumulus cloud formation. I would estimate the
size of these ovjects to be about the gize of = déublec Pist
extended arm's length."

Mregi@MMM stated that during the time thet he flew as a field gunner in
the Air Force he observed airplanes from a distance end birds in flight
many, mony times, anc he was ebsolutely posicsive that what he saw on the
afternoon of 29 June 1949 was act something he had witnessed befcre in
his life. irv@MMMMBeurther siated thet he made several attempts the
next day to contact the proper authorities so that a revort might be
made of the situation. On 1 July 1949 he went to the Old Navy Suilding
and talked to Cptrig a, District Intelligence Officer, who told
him that he would turn the information over to the proper Air Yorce auth-
orities in Baltimore for investization. diggggy—— stetec that he vas
rather reluctant to make a report, due to the treatment he had received
from the "ews Post", but, being an Air Force veteren, he felt it a

patriotic duty to report the situation to the proper authoritics.

AGENT's NOTE: Mreq@ appears to be a very well educated, intelligent,
conscientious individual, and gives the impression of full sincerity in
the report of this matter. ii. RCLFE is a conmercial artist student,
