, Report of Unusual Incident ‘UNCLASSIFIED

Type + Unconventional aircraft

Place - Redstone Arsenal, rear right poroh of Civilian Bachelor's Quarters.
Dete = 15 July 1960

Time © Approximately 1700 Hours

Witness » employee of Chief Signal Office, Washington
and » Engineer ‘ide, Ordnance Rocket Center, kedstone
Arsenal.

Account - Mrogieme first noticed the noneconventional airoraft in the

sky about thirty degrees North East of right hand corner of Civilian Bechelor's
Quarters flying at approximately 1,000 feet elevation at a judged air speed

of 100¢e125 miles per hour in a level parallel. The object appeared to be
triangler in shape and comprised of two sections. Size of seid object was to

my thought approximrtely the size of a standard door, from the distanoe at
which it was observed, perhaps slightly larger with a tapered effect.

The object appeared to be constructed of aluminum, highly polished, so to

give a very brillent light. Although, it must be noted that the weather at
the time of sight was very overcast and a lerge black thunder head was directly
behind the object with no sun rays possible.

In regards to the flight of said object it wes followed for approximately 5

to 8 miles, when object reached a line parallel with the Quarry Pit located on
the North West end of Madkin Mountein the object appeared to first be in some
type of flight trouble, that is to say the triangles were secn to move or. flop,
one the leading section turning in a clock wise motion end the rear section in
an antieclock wise motion = both turning about 25% of a complete rotation, this.
action wes retained for a period of approximately 1/2 minute, then returning-to
it's prior stable flight. It was then noticed by both Mr. @ijgguimmme and ir.

emai to turn at a right angle over the quarry and accelerate with high speed

to take it completely out of view in less than 3 seconds.
